The Perfect Storm

Hey there - remember me?

A lot has happended since I fell off the face of planet Blogger.  I really would not know where to even begin.  Yes, I could start at the beginning, but there is a lot at the beginning which I do not want to talk about.  I did not intentionally drop off the planet.  Some things happened which upset me pretty badly.  When I went to my laptop to write about it and maybe email a few close friends, my laptop would not turn on.  And then cell phone went all crazy.  It kept chirping that the battery was dying - even after I had replaced the battery - and would not hold a charge for more than an hour.  I got new phone before I got another laptop, but it would not let me use my secret identity to get into Blogger.  Long story short (too late for that, huh), my world was falling apart and I was cut off from the one place I came to talk about the sort of things that were happening.  It was a bit like the perfect storm.

And the longer I went without talking to anyone, the harder it was to be willing to talk.

Anyway, I'm alive.  I appreciate those who asked about me.  I'm sorry for being a bad person and not getting back to anyone.  There's really no good excuse in that, though I have loads of bad excuses.  I have missed you and I do appreciate you all.

I hope to write more soon.

And Advizor, I really loved the one picture with the naked girl playing chess.  Dang sorry I missed that one.
