I’ve been gone a while.
This is obvious, if you look at the recent posts. Chuf has made a valiant effort to preserve some sense of regularity in the posting during the end of the year lull, for which I thank him immensely, and a special thank you as well to Jayslacks.
My absence has been the result of some fairly distracting personal life issues. These issues were amplified and focused by their proximity to Christmas and the holidays in general, although my life shows a strange predilection towards entering a tailspin around the holidays. I’m not making excuses. I’m just sharing, I suppose.
