Still not here, regularly

As I doubt it is a surprise that I haven't posted since January, after last years record-breaking single blog post, I decided to toss something here, on a night that I am otherwise occupied with laundry.  I actually have a letter to write, but haven't gotten around to it just yet.  Aside from work, nothing really has been going on in my life, though the world is falling into a rather nasty state.  I guess the big thing holding me back there is it was a letter that had none of the humor and wry observations I normally expect from the correspondent, and I really don't relish replying with the boring tedium that makes up my day, since I haven't learned to play the Ukulele I bought in Hawai'i.
