I apologize for being absent so much lately.  A new job, family responsibilities and this week a knock-out cold that had me chained to my bed on Wednesday; I think I slept 20 out of 24 hours.
But that's all gone, I'm almost out the door to work but wanted to say we're still in business here in Section VII.  Thanks to everyone who keeps it chugging along with great stories and challenges.  And to those who read and encourage us... you're all awesome.
During December we'll have something special going on, and I'll be getting those details into a post in the next couple of days.  We do something every year and this is no exception, so I encourage all of you to leave a little space in your day to create and enjoy the season with MFU.

“Are you sure you lost them?” Illya asked, reaching for his Special again.

“Have you no faith in us? Tranquillo.” She offered him some popcorn, which he refused with a shake of his head. When his stomach rumbled, she gave him pointed look, and he reluctantly took a handful.
