how does one start a new blog entry after a long absence? I could try and explain, why I have not written in so long, say that I was busy or justify my lack of motivation with a blasé comment that would insult everyone's intelligence so I have decided to simply not give an explanation, whatsoever and simply pick it back up... :-)
