Several things happened in the interim, I'll get to those in due time. Let's just say the Geohousehold will be busy for the next several weeks.
Yet I'm making a commitment to keeping this space current and also remind myself that writing (however little or great) here can be quite therapeutic.

Mark this in the "things of which I was vaguely aware" category: Ever notice when you're in a state of expectation, how it helps to stay occupied and active?
A small case in point--at the start of last week I was on pins and needles regarding (what I hoped) was pending news. Monday, quiet. Tuesday, quiet. Wednesday morning, got something in the email inbox that showed promise. And Wednesday afternoon Geogal and I decided to get out and move around in actual nature, not just our subdivision. We took a short hike along Linear Trail, where it crosses under Highway 24, and headed in the south/southwest direction, past the point where the Big Blue River empties into the Kansas River. We reached a good turning-around point and walked back to the car. Once I got home I noticed I had a missed call and voice mail message on the phone, both of which came across not long after we set out on the trail.
It was good news.

Finished watching John Ford's cavalry trilogy. A bit out of order as I first viewed "She Wore A Yellow Ribbon" and the following week watched "Fort Apache." Wrapped things up with "Rio Grande," courtesy of Prime streaming (the other two were DVD-in-the-mail from Netflix).
Glad I took the time. All are well-done and even Geogal surprised me by hanging around, given she generally is not a western-movie person. She remarked: "I'd forgotten how good of a movie 'Fort Apache' is."
Speaking of trilogies, I'm scheduled to get "The Rise of Skywalker" from Netflix DVD either today or tomorrow. Didn't bother to catch it in the theater. That will lead into a whole 'nother blog entry.
