Long absence

I'm back--graduation is over (I had no idea how all-consuming that is in the midwest--be warned those of you with teens) but life is no less busy as I prod my daughter toward her driver's license, hold my son back from his and search for extra long sheets and other absolutely necessary college dorm room items ("Mom--everyone gets one of those egg carton things for their mattresses--otherwise it is really uncomfortable.") I'm reentering the 23 things world by going backwards to step 3 and adding new feeds to my bloglines. I'm adding the feed from www.saintpaulitics.org to see if this St. Paul Public website is as good a contribution to civic engagement as it seems. I'm sending myself e-mail with all of my various accounts and passwords established through this 23 thing process because every time I try to hook back in I have to dig through the memory bank to figure it all out. I won't label this any particular thing accomplishment, because I haven't moved on, but I will say I feel accomplished anyway just through remembering my passwords.
