Last summer, cancer came to visit our home; its arrival was sudden and completely unexpected. I'm sorry to report that it turned out to be one of the more devastating lessons in the human curriculum.
Until something like that happens, it strikes me now how few of us ever realize just how thoroughly such an unforeseen event can rearrange your life. Priorities get questioned and reorganized, and even some of your most deeply-held assumptions (and dearly-held beliefs) get rethought. And, believe me, I've done a whole lot of rethinking over the past several months.
I've not had too awfully much time recently, but I did want to express my sincere best wishes to those of you who still post here, and some warm thoughts too for many who no longer do.

Simulist, I'm very happy that you're back.

Yes, Slomo. Always.
And you. I'm sorry for your suffering, that kept you way. Now that you're back, I'm largely gone. Except for threads to grind stones into verse while drunk. On Facebook, you can see me. Pecker in the wind, the lost dumbfuck.
