I am still planning on doing more podcasts, as time allows. “As time allows.” Heh. Should I rephrase that to read “as three boys and life allow”? Seriously, though, thanks for your patience, and I’m still thinking about that whole allergy book thing. It’s going to be something wonderful, you know? Just not sure yet how to proceed.

For those keeping score at home, I’m still working on my novel. And you can always keep up with my Guerilla Mothering column here.

That’s ALL THE NEWS THAT ITCHES for now. Thanks for tuning in to this online version of Allergy News!
