It is amazing how a job and a new life can sap the time for maintaining a blog. Hello, loyal readers, it is another delayed entry from your pal, Ushiku! I have been meaning to write to you more often - honest, I have! - but things have been just so gosh darned busy lately... Don't you loath excuses? Here it is, October already, and we are all thinking about Halloween. Picked up a pumpkin on Saturday from the local Farmer's market, and have named him "Karl" ,because he's 84mm in circumference (an inside joke). Chipped a molar on, of all things, soft Japanese white rice, and now I'm trying to circumnavigate my company's byzantine dental insurance policy ("...the holder shall therewith be liable for 26.5% total coverage on any Wednesday that has a full-moon, unless that Wednesday falls during the week of a blue moon, wherein the policy holder will assume a modest 99.9% liability for costs deferred...). Huh? I really don't like going to the dentist, but this thing has to get looked at - how does one lose a chunk of such a sizable piece of enamelized toothware anyways? I brush and floss - is this a sign of scurvy? Eegads. I remember when I got my first cavity - I was crushed (I felt that I had slacked off in my dental hygiene duties). Plus, I was no longer eligible for the "perfect teeth" club at my local dentist's office - I was lumped in with all those others who brushed and flossed haphazzardly (if at all). Oh, the shame. Anywho, the weather here in central Kentucky has been decidedly unautumn-like; in fact it has been down-right summerish. I'm told that it will continue this way well unto the cusp of winter (that could be a bit of a shock). I still haven't loaded the pics of that preying mantis - have patience, it will come.
