Many Thanks, Guys ...

Spring has always been my absolute favourite season  but this year I'm almost  (but not quite) wishing it would end and we could get on with summer.

 

Why, you ask? Well, it's like this:

For those of us who don't yet know, last summer/fall I volunteered to work at a couple of community organizations, first the Grand Forks Hospital Auxiliary Thrift Store, then shortly thereafter, the Grand Forks Public Learning Garden.

 

As most are likely aware, gardens can demand quite a bit of actual physical labour, especially in Spring. Conspiring with the advent of Spring is an aspect of human nature which causes many of us to, after being shut in for the winter, suddenly desire to "clean up the cabin" as it were, in the process discarding (read donating) unused or unwanted items, often to charitable organizations (read, in this case, ME). The short story here is that I have been EGGGGSremely busy for lo these last 2 weeks or so in dealing with this annual juxtaposition of Spring and Human Nature.

 

That is all by way of saying that I have been, alternately, either too busy or too tired to even look at my review queue for about two weeks. Today, though, I took an afternoon off to tend to some other things, then my review queue. Upon turning to the latter, I was very pleasantly surprised to find ONLY 21 items in the queue (all in one category, BTW ). I had fully expected the number to be well into the triple digit range.

 

So - THANK YOU  to all those officers who have covered for me over the past while.

I do expect to be as busy for the next two weeks (or more), but shall definitely at least TRY (I know, destroyed, not just split, infinitive) to get here more often.

 

Thanks Again Guys,

The Scrooge
