Borderland

It’s been family reunion time for me the last couple weeks. I was paying minimal attention to the blog until I discovered that it went offline a few days ago. Long story short: something happened with the subdomain I set up for it, and any attempt to locate it produced a “Page Not Found” browser error. A fair amount of fussing, and some help from the IT folks where it’s hosted, brought it back online.

I spent a few hours thinking about the possibility that Borderland might have been gone for good. It wasn’t really too disturbing. But I’d rather bring it to a more graceful end than having the whole thing just dry up and blow away.

I’ll return to whatever passes for normal operation here in mid-July, once we’re done with the cousins, brothers, sisters, and grandparents. Living in Alaska, with all the relatives far away, means we don’t see each other very often. We’re getting a full dose of one another this summer. Good stuff, but there’s little time for writing with all the family commotion.
