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.

Hey Ushiku! Hey Kit Ten!
Things went all wonky over here, too. But I'm back up on my feet and moving ahead. But then it looks like things have slowed down here and Kit Ten has vanished again...
Hello, Old Friends!
Kit Ten, I can't seem to find your new blog (have you been abducted by UFOs again?)
And Alex, my Dear Good Chum!! You have resurfaced (I was just talking about you w/ M-chan today and wondering how you are...). Absolutely brilliant to hear from you again! I will update my blog soon (gosh, have I been busy, but that is a good thing!).
Take care, dear friends, and I will write some more soon!
-Ushiku- (-_-)
