“Time ake up, Mommy. Make panpakes?”
That’s what Lars used to say when he was a toddler. “Panpakes” was his favorite breakfast.
While I’m not sure how long (or if) it will last, it’s time to “ake up.” I look forward to reconnecting with you all here.
I don’t know what happened exactly, but the whole Covid mess took me out of the writing habit. I’ve dropped the occasional post now and then since March of 2020, when everything fell to crap, but as you’ll see if you root around in that time period, the writings are few and far between.
This morning, I got up early and started the laundry. When I checked email, there was a reminder notice from my domain provider that I needed to renew finkweb.org. That got me thinking…do I want to pay upwards of $300/year to keep this little circus going, or do I want to give up my erstwhile dream of being a real writer, and just concentrate on other things?
Well, for today, the answer is “A.” 
In fact, as I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole of reading old posts from 2009 and whatnot, I’m overcome by nostalgia that, I confess, is enjoyable. I don’t want to just trash all these experiences — many with you, my fiends — and let the whole project die a quiet death.
Not yet, anyway.
So if you’re still with me, check in! Let’s test out the comment script to see if it still works. And as always, if something looks hinky, let me know, and I’ll get it fixed.
Much love…

Howdy, howdy, howdy!
You’re back! What a thrill! Even though I’m your sis and I hear you speak every day, I’ve missed the Fink writing! I’m proud of you and have missed reading your wonderful topics. Glad you’ve decided to write again. Keep it going, sweetie. Love you!
Welcome back!!
I’m here too ready to read! Glad your back sis!

So glad to see this back. I have missed it. You have a wonderful talent for writing and I have to admit, I did miss this.
Well Babycakes, it may not be time to give up the gift of gab, but more writings from 4:30 am would certainly be enjoyed by me!
Glad to have you back. Look forward to reading your thoughts.
Good morning!
What fun!
So glad you’re back! Big, big fan…

And you’re all wonderful for reading along, and especially for checking in! I am determined to not let this place stagnate again. Stay tuned!
I enjoy your posts. But don’t know if I would pay $300 to keep it going.
Hooray hoorah!
