Why This Blog Has Been Empty

Permit me to give those who are not "in the know" a brief (& probably sardonic) explanation for our (Suzi's, David's and my) prolonged absence. Nov.-Jan. 18 S&D were too busy flitting about having fun visiting their vast collection of friends and family to be concerned with the blog. Five hours before their plane was to depart for Fiji on the 18th, Suzi got a phone call telling her that she had a bad mammogram: flight postponed. In the ensuing week she had tons of tests and consulted with numerous breast cancer doctors, followed by surgery to remove a small malignant tumor and irradiate the surrounding tissue. Tests on the tissue surrounding the tumor came back clear (YAY!), so then she spent the following month healing, getting acupuncture and consulting with lots of experts about what medications she needed to be on. Meds packed in the overweight suitcases, the intrepid travelers departed here on Mar. 6, flew to Fiji for three days where they cleaned the mold out of Sidewinder, then took off for Aukland. They are picking up their van today, then heading for the South Island. The tsunami affected neither the Sobolewskis nor Sidewinder, so as Will Shakespeare so aptly put it, "All's well that ends well." Phew. Normal blog posts should resume sometime in the near future.
