Thanks, HaloScan and ... ominous piano practice?

Thanks to the very helpful folks at HaloScan, my missing comments are back! I spent a long evening last night copying and pasting seventeen comments from one post. It's tedious work and I am very happy they were able to take care of the rest. I'm even more grateful because the mistake was originally mine and the fix optional. Thank you, anonymous HaloScan support staff!

Unfortunately, my elation at the retrieval of the missing comments has been tempered by the sound of one of the Neighbornator's offspring practicing the piano. Yes, it's "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," though it's much improved from last year's attempts.

I am afraid that the
annual jazz party preparations have begun. We have our bags packed in case we have to leave on short notice.
