Ack!
Sorry that I've been away so long... Again...
I've *STILL* been dealing with my ailing mother, who is probably the worst patient on the face of mother earth. Unfortunately my personal family life has turned into some kind of bad horror movie. A bad 60's horror movie...
Anyway, BBRV had to parachute in, seeing as how I live in the jungles of the deep-south without so much as an airfield

We chatted for a bit, and he reminded me that you guys probably miss me as much as I miss all of you. Then, he had the rangers do a rescue mission, since he was surrounded on all sides by the Dukes of Hazzard, and escaped back out west... I'm kidding; he phoned

I am very sorry that I've not been around the way I have been in the past. I've got a great sob-story if you want to hear it, but in a nutshell its: My mother won't let any of our other relatives help take care of her--including my wife. I kept expecting to get back into a normal "groove," but it just never happened.
At any rate... I am sorry for the absence, and I'll try to fix the email stuff and be around more.
Targh
P.S.: Bolton, I'm checking my PM's now
