Various kinds of good news are probably upcoming

but in the meantime I have a very narcissistic thought: are you ever tempted to narrate your own life like you're being followed around by a political reporter? "Early acquaintances describe her as focused, driven, and private to the point of secretiveness - but as we discussed her tax plan over cranberry strudel, Sapote was nothing if not forthcoming." That kind of thing. What would yours be?

I am behind on comments and trying to fix that now, oh yes.
