Like a magicians assistant... I was gone and now returned!

Hmm... I suppose I should tell you why I haven't been the faithful blogger these past 12 days but I'm hesitant to. I'm hesitant because as I've said in these pages in the past, some things just aren't any of your business. For those of you that don't know me personally, I could make up some sort of internet illness bullshit that some have been known to do in the past to explain my absense. But there are faithful readers here that do know me, so that wouldn't pass with them anyways. I'd lose what little credibility I've gained in these 49+ years.

I will say it wasn't physical. No, I'm afraid it borders on the realm of the mental. Not an illness so to speak but a cleansing. You see, I’ve written pages upon pages that you’ll not see here. They were written with the intention of being here. But for now they shall remain as bytes on a hard drive. Unseen except by me. My intention is to fictionalize them and publish them in other blogs on other days.

In those pages I have managed to exorcize demons that have haunted me since childhood. For that I will forever be in debt to those that dared me to do this. Hopefully, you will see those words soon. But for now, lets continue the foolishness here. I’ve got nine days left till this ends. I will be here daily till then and one day after. The day after post will be to let you know how I handle waking up halfway to 100!
