Raising my hand...

I tend to talk out of turn or railroad other parties in a conversation. Alternatively, I am one-shade away from stone-faced silent and am daunting to the rest of the world in my completely-still interpretive dance of "quiet" and, apparently, "aloof." So, do I present accurately to the world? Question open to debate. But not really the point of my post.

Point (after much hemming and hawing): I have been silent the last couple of weeks due to vacation, laziness, lack of internet connection, untimely illness, and lack of anything interesting to say.

Not much has changed except that my vacation is drawing to a close. At the point, I just want to pop in and say hi and note that I am, in fact, still around. And that I am blessed with friends that will always be better than I will ever deserve, but whom I will always be profoundly grateful whether it be through the static of my own incessant babble or my inexplicable wall of random solitude.

Love you guys.

Always.
