Blog on hiatus for a few days

Postings to this blog will not be made for the next few days.  At 4:00 a.m. today, Margaret and I were awakened by a telephone call informing us that her mother had passed away during the night.  We packed and left this morning to drive from Lubbock to San Antonio.  It is sobering to deal with the subject matter of this blog “up close and personal.”
