Aww

I had about the sweetest e-mail of my life from a regular reader today:

"Life is empty without new City Mouse Country posts.
"How are you doing?"

Aw. I miss you guys, too.
Last week was a rollercoastery week. Here are your updates (and downdates, I suppose):

• The computer has been replaced, and is working fine. Hallelujah.
• My parents' dog died. She was old, but we didn't know she was dying, and it has thrown me just a little more off-kilter than I already was. My parents are, naturally, devastated.
  
• My college roommate and her kids came to visit last weekend. We had an outstanding time, complete with turtle-spotting, playground time, cheeseburger pie, ice cream, and lots and lots of reading. Good stuff.
• My friend is moving to Bermuda, which means I have a reason to go to Bermuda. Also, his farewell party this weekend featured lots of special guest stars I hadn't seen in years.

I am doing all right, but I am staying very, very busy, part by design and part by coincidence.
There will be loads to post about in the coming weeks, as:

• Many many cousinmice (largely from assorted cities) will be coming to visit.
• Also: one more city visitor.
• Also: a worlds-colliding-type birthday party for an old friend.
• Also: the miracle that is summer stock theater.
• And maybe an amusement park trip.

Keep watching this space.
