I'm still alive!

Just dropped in to leave a short note that I'm alive and well. Lately, I've been disinterested in bookcrossing and LJ (feeling as if I have nothing to add/offer); instead, I've been spending my time reading or calligraphizing (like my new word)? I recently read The Romance Reader by Pearl Abraham, a fascinating view into the life of a young woman raised in the Hasidic community. Now, I'm reading the new HP book and trying very hard not to hear Savagefuzzball's loose-tongued friends as they discuss spoilers about the plot - little brats!!

I hope all my friends, here, are well. Hugs to you all. Once I pass through this anti-internet phase I go through, every so often, I'll be back to play.
