Almost back -- AKA A Quick Update

I've been busy, hence the disappearing act. With what, you say?

Well, where do I start. There was that Holiday thing, a family outing, a basement under construction and a meltdown (again) of my existing computer, necessitating repairs and/or a total rebuild. This is being written on the family's new computer -- yes, there will now be two in the house. There's this nice new shiny thing and that other thing, the principle receiver of my best profanity.

Anyway, s'all for now. I will be returning in a week or two, only it likely won't be here. I'll keep all posted when things are straightened out. Thanks to everyone who left comments and thanks to those who just check in now and again.

Stay tuned...
