The urge to apologize and make excuses is overwhelming, and I won't indulge in the compulsion. If, in the unlikely event, I have any visiter to this blog left, I want to announce that I am beginning a cycle of travel again and will TRY to do some blogging, which, parenthetically, I enjoy and have missed. I am leaving for Isreal and Europe in about 5 minutes. I'll be back in La Crosse for a few days then will be driving to Croton-on-Hudson NY. I am also in process of trying to arrange a trip to Cuba for a Phototour and there is something in the offing for February. More to follow... right now I have a plane to catch.
