Hello out there in Blogland. I'll bet you thought I fell off the end of the earth, but NO! I am here and finally signing back in.  I will say something is up with blogger and it distracted me for a while. It seems some 40,000 folks in Germany have tuned in this week. I know that isn't accurate, and I've been trying to get to the bottom of the confusion.

Just in case I'm the hottest thing in Germany this week: Guten Tag! to all my German friends.
