#4. A Chapter List

I tried looking back on the two weeks just passed since New Year's, and it was a blur.  Everything was all jumbled up in my mind; what we did, when we did it, how it felt.  So with a lot of help from Sharon, I have tried to set out events as a Table of Contents, in an order somewhat approaching reality.

I doubt I will write about everything here, but it does serve to fix things in what's left of my mind.  A framework on which to hang my blogs, as it were.

I'll post it for your continued amusement and edification.
