I'm good.  Not a lot going on, which is JUST FINE after a rocky August.  Just biding my time with some family history research until it gets cool enough to head outside and tear apart the garden.  

How are you? 
 @51fb1883 I saw that you are into Geneology. What resources do you use?

I use a lot of online sites, like Ancestry and My Heritage, and correspond directly with some Vital Records departments.

My mother's whole family is in the UK, which has a GRO (General Records Office) online, which is very helpful.  

It's very addicting, but you need a high tolerance for frustration.  (I'm stubborn, which helps.)  It is fascinating and humbling to see what past generations lived through.
