“Four score and seven appointments ago....”

At least on this night, that doesn't just refer to how long these pages have been around, nor the battlefield (or, for news-purposes, something close to it) the last almost eight years have been.

Along said lines, multiple ops report that a return pilgrimage forty-five years in the making can be expected for Roman Noon tomorrow.

In the meanwhile, to everyone who's been so good to send a kind word or quiet prayer this way over these last difficult weeks, no words could ever say enough thanks, both from this scribe and all the clan.

More on home matters in due course.... For tonight, though, back to the beat.
