Back in the Saddle again

Hello again.  Long time no chat!

I'm sorry for my extended absence from my blog.  We've become pretty "close" over the years so being away for a little while was a little odd.  There was no compelling reason for my recent inactivity other than life events.  I'm well and have no major complaints other than the cold.

I had written a fairly long entry several days ago that I was planning to post but it somehow disappeared into the ether.  I was frustrated and gave myself a couple of days to recoup.  All better now.

I do want to take a moment and share my deepest appreciation for those who wrote to express concern for my well-being based on the gap between my posts.  I truly appreciate the fact that we all look out for one another, and that includes for yours truly.  I'm used to thinking of myself as a Weeble - it never falls down.  I know it's not true and that one day this Weeble will, indeed, fall.  But I don't think that day will be today.

I do have more to share but I'll need to postpone that until my next opportunity.  I'm between obligations at the moment and just wanted to drop a quick note to say "hi", "I'm fine", and "Thank you."    :)
