Wow, the time has been slip- sliding away.   I haven’t forgotten you.  Not at all.  A nearly rude comment left on the blog – which came to my email inbox as all comments do - reminded me that the Layers still exists and has a life of it’s own in a way.  Even when I’m flying hither and yon, thinking, planning, talking, working – the blog is dishing up thoughts for digestion all hours of the day and night in every time zone.

You must see Italy, really you must.   One of these days I will plug into the internet with my laptop and slide some pictures across the table to you.  Cause you know, it seems like you’re only across the table.  I’ve only gotten up to check on the coffee and open a pack of snack-somethings and will be back in a minute.  Virtually.

And then I’ll tell you about Italy.  And tell you the very weird impressions in my head as I’ve visited the U.S.  after being away for a year.  Me sharing weird impressions isn’t new, is it?   I wonder if I will ever NOT have weird impressions.  If ever I was without them. . .  ah, it’s doubtful. 

Meanwhile, I’m sippin’ this medium-sized Diet Cherry Limeade and thinking about putting on the pjs.  Realizing I’ve stored up a lot to say.  But I’m sippin’ and for the moment, I am quiet.
