+moved into my new house last week!  very nice house.  i was sick for two days
+afterward, i think due to exhaustion or something.  wasn't a good time, let me
+tell you.  however, now i'm well and kicking!
+
+my wife's birthday was also this weekend, so we had friends over and everyone
+loved the house.  i do too.  it's a good house.
+
+oh and the

+are back home, thank goodness!  i was missing them very much.  they are
+adjusting well, mostly---though apparently the poor things were terrified by the
+mail dropping through the door slot this afternoon.

+i was originally writing this to share a bit of elisp, so i suppose i will here.
+
+Bozhidar Batsov wrote a blog post called
+=>
+https://emacsredux.com/blog/2022/06/03/extract-version-metadata-from-a-package/
+"Extract Version Metadata from a Package"
+that discusses how to do all of that from package.el, but i don't use
+package.el.
+
+so i hacked something together from some throwaway lines in his blog to do
+almost the same thing:
+
+```
+(with-current-buffer (find-file-noselect (find-library-name "titlecase"))
+  (require 'lisp-mnt)
+  (lm-authors))
+```
+
+this returns the authors (me) and their email from the titlecase.el library:
+
+```
+(("Case Duckworth" . "acdw@acdw.net"))
+```
+
+i still need to think about multi-file libraries and how to find the "real" root
+of the library, i suppose, but that's an easily-enough-solved problem i think.
