Wow, I’ve been gone almost a year!  In some ways it’s hard to understand how I got off-track but, I guess, if I spend the effort on it I can recount everything that’s happened.  Part of it could be explained a number of ways but my way is to say that I stepped out of the world enough so that I could no longer function.  That’s not all that bad because where I stepped was, in many ways, a good place.
