Okay, so those who read Weekend Update 2009 know that I've been caring for my ailing mother. In June, she fell off her porch and broke her back in two places (T2 and T5). She also broke her left arm. She's on the mend, so last night, I became a Ghost Hunter. I was invited to join one of the VA divisions of TAPS and investigate a local legend, Major Graham's Mansion, the result of my Vice Presidency of another local ghosthunter club. I didn't meet any beasties, ghoulies, or things that go bump in the night. One rap in response to a request, one cold spot, and the scent of roses that, upon further investigation, turned out to be a cleverly hidden Glade product. Oh well. BUT I'm back in the game of life with Mother on the mend. Hello, fellow AW'ers!:D

Hey, so great to see you Appal! Missed you and very glad to hear your mom's on the mend. Sorry that happened, though.That must've been very exciting with the ghost hunter!

You want to hunt ghosts, get over here to Connecticut, we're up to our armpits in them. Welcome back, good to hear your mom is okay.

Thanks, Susie. Nice to see you, too. I've been completely out of the loop for months. Although the fall semester has started and I have classes, even going back to school seems odd after spending so much time caring for Mother. As for the ghost hunting, I've been on more exciting investigations but at least it got me to stick my toe back in the water.

Wow! so cool! I'm a huge fan of the Ghosthunters.

it's great you're getting out and about. And so glad your mom is well enough!

Ghosthunters starts afresh this Wednesday. Josh Gates (Destination Truth) is joining them for some reason. Most likely, I'd say Mr. Gates is in need of a rating boost for his monter-hunting series. Just saying. :D

Anyone who dares to put Appalachian in their name (let alone decide on a spelling) is my friend for sure. We are kindred spirits. I'll spin a possum for you in the morning. Welcome back. =)
