Why no posts lately?

I've been a bad blogger -- it's more than a month since I've written anything here. First I fractured a bone in my right foot. Then we were getting ready for a trip to France (canal barge in Alsace, then 4 days in Paris). Then when I returned I had a horrible pain in my right neck and shoulder that got worse when I used the computer. Having had disc replacement surgery 3 years ago, my worry-meter was off the scale. Fortunately I was diagnosed with a bad muscle strain from wearing a surgical boot and lugging a suitcase around France. All is now recovering, thank God.

Here are a few shots of our trip, including me in my boot. It was lovely.
