As many of you know, I was away for two and a half months this summer, tending to a family medical emergency in Florida. My mom, who lives with my stepdad in Sanibel, had surgery at Tampa General and was in the hospital for 43 days.
She&#8217;s much better now and at home recovering, but [...]]]></description>

Hope you&#8217;re all doing well and enjoying the summer so far!
I&#8217;ve been reading about how McDonald&#8217;s yanked the Shrek glasses (thanks to the sharp, stinging crack of the Consumer Product Safety Commission&#8217;s whip) because of the minute amounts of cadmium, and found myself getting increasingly aggravated and ranty (never a good combination). Granted, I&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

I hope you&#8217;re all having a cheery and festive February and aren&#8217;t buried in the remains of The Blizzard of 2010 like us icicles on the East Coast.

I&#8217;m heading off to Shelbyville, TN, tomorrow to celebrate the wedding of Andy Townes, the oldest son of Dan Townes, legendary industry luminary and owner/president of Shepenco/Shelbyville Pencil (asi/86850). I&#8217;ve been to Shelbyville to stay with the Towneses before and they party on a whole different level down there in the South. Can. Not. Wait.
