Well hello. I've been absent for some months now, all due to a glitch in the blogging system that should have been fixed in a day or so. The blog meisters have an excruciating "system" for identifying potential intruders into the works of others. They ask endless questions, some of which you know the answers to and many more that you don't. It's a delicate dance that the meisters know well. They hold information that you don't have, all at the height of politeness and concern
