"It is time. It is High Time,"

as my husband would say-- except that he informs me this favourite phrase is actually (one English version of) Nietzsche's battle cry. Oops.

But it is not time to argue whether man is a thing to be overcome. It is high time for me to reestablish my sadly neglected blog... in a new location and a new state of life.

After two years of separation, Jim and I finally get a chance to be together. All the time. It's like an extended honeymoon, only at home... a full month of planning a home, arranging, hanging pictures, reading aloud, laughing at cooking blunders, exploring the Redlands area, without either of us needing to go away to work. We feel incredibly blessed.

Teacher meetings start next week, so our idyllic "settling-in" phase is almost over. And perhaps, with this return to everyday life, my blog will begin to look more interesting.

But for now, the most profound thing I have to say is this: We are very happy.
