462.

That's the number of days that have transpired since my last entry here.  Be assured, that I haven't "lost my way" or felt disinterested in contributing to this little thing here.  Granted, life hasn't afforded me many opportunities to get out there and give me a lot of reasons to write here, but there's been some.  2017 was a whirlwind.  In all my life, I've never had a year like 2017.  I watched my daughter spring up from 6 to 18 months old (currently over 20 months old).  We put our house in Chicago for sale, sold it, and relocated to West Chicago (the suburb).  My job is increasingly more demanding of my mental resources.   And, I've been working on The Project.

We don't talk about The Project...someday, hopefully in the not-so-distant future, I will unveil The Project.

This is a short post, a check-in if you will.  Soon I'll get a post together about one of the few herping outings I was involved in last year - it was a doozy.  I'll also expound on my incredibly risky but ultimately rewarding move to a semi-rural area from a life of hustle & bustle.  I never thought I'd say this, but, there are frogs in my yard.  What.

That's right, guys.  Frogs.  This is going to be good.
