Once again, not dead

But busy. 9th birthday. Start of school for the little one, start of soccer, 5-day virus for him, then for my spouse, start of school year at work, promotion, fighting the virus myself, and today two soccer tournaments back to back. Here are the empty fields between games, my guys are using the facilities. Driving in the car I hear The Splendid Table and people talking about making veggie burgers and wonder whose life that is.
