In case you were wondering...

I did promise to write more often, but life seems to keep getting in the way.  My current job is running me ragged with ever-longer days, and my personal life has managed to disintegrate into utter chaos.  Topping it off, I've been fighting a low-level flu for the past couple of weeks (probably due to the prior 2 things I just mentioned), so it seems all I do is work and sleep.  My back yard looks like a jungle scene from Apocalypse Now.  Somehow, I'll get through this.
