Stacie has returned. As I wrote on my homepage:

Update: Stacie Albrecht

As it happens, Stacie turned up today (Wednesday as of this writing), safe and hopefully sound. Apparently (and this is a third-or-fourth-hand report), she went temporarily goofy on Sunday and decided to drive away for a couple of days without telling anyone. While this isn't very in character for Stacie as far as I've ever known her, we're all thrilled that she's unharmed.

But, do your civic duty and squelch the email-forwarding wildfire by informing those that you've written to or spoken to about this that she's indeed okay.
