I took the summer off, partially for good reason and partially out of sloth. I apologize for not announcing my intention to do so prior to disappearing, but it doesn't seem as though I've been missed much. The internet seems to have continued buzzing along just fine without me.
It's been an eventful summer. There's been a sparation from one whom I love deeply and a reunion with several persons for whom my love has continued unchecked during our spearation. It is doubtful that either of these parties reads what I post here, but I want to let them know how my heart droops and soars at their departure and return.
If I may cite from Julius Caesar here, I think from his
Commentaries, and I ask the reader to bear in mind that I'm working from memory here, so please don't call me out on a misquote.
"If a man were to know the end of this day's business 'ere it end, but it suffices that this day will end, and then the end will be known. Then, if we should meet again, we will smile. And if not, the this parting was well made."
Hail and farewell, my friends.
And to my readers, til next time, all the best. Joe
