Two months is a long time to disappear.
It was sort of like being abducted by aliens - I even have Christmas cards that have yet to be sent. Regarding the thing(s) that "abducted" me, well, there are no details to give that aren't personal in nature, but please accept my heartfelt apology for vanishing and my assurance that I'll be better at warning people next time. Of course, God might just throw me another curveball, and I might be lying altogether...
In the meantime, I'm working hard to come back this week and look forward to seeing how you're all doing. Comments are off because I'm still swamped and can't reply yet, but I'll be back ASAP.
