A Long Time Between Things (And The Reasons Why)

To one and all:
Yes, it has been a long time since I have written here. I followed the Winter Olympics - after a point - and realized that I was leaving my best comments to all of my Facebook friends (all less-than-100 of them). Also, there were other dramas: a student who expected me to meet him on Sunday nights, or just wait for him and see if he would show up; a tragedy in the family (might help if I leave a link for it here); a bit more work with contracts and assessments of students (private and public); and my laptop threw up (best way of describing what happened - too much to mention here). So, I have been away.
But I am now back. I have decided to go to either the library or one of the offices where I work to write up whatever I have on paper or thought up for the day. A good plan would be three to four times a week in front of the screen, tapping my thoughts out. This will, of course, interfere with my busy social life of counting pennies, listening to obscure modern composers and wondering why my idiot roommates have better dates than me (still on my mind). So, I will keep this going.
And you can keep writing back and letting me know where I have gone wrong!
