Sorry for the long absence (for the two of you reading this), but there have been a lot of changes in my life recently. The biggest one is that I am going to school again. In a way it is good that I let the web comic go by the way side because it has taken me a long time to get back in the swing of doing research and writing papers. I don’t know if I mentioned it before, but I am an English major and have been a senior for over four years. I’ve had to drop out from time to time to raise kids and earn money (too many credits for financial aid–thank you Bush Administration). Right now though, the kids are raised (one even moved out permanently–my oldest has moved out three times, but keeps coming back, but he’s going to school in New York (Culinary Institute of America) next fall so that should take care of him).
I suppose you saw today’s comic. Groceries are a concern for me. My youngest (a UVU freshman) is allergic to anything with manufactured soy byproducts in it (soy-sauce is safe) so we have to make everything from scratch. That’s quite nice since my oldest wants to be a chef, but in his spates of movingoutedness my youngest or I get to do the cooking. Not too bad, but while I do fine with tv diners and pot-pies, my youngest blows up like a balloon and gets a rash.
