Okay, so I’ve been missing in action for a while here. Sorry about that, folks.

Here’s what happened:

• I went on vacation. Visited my sister and her family down in North Carolina (Fayetteville area). That was in early May, and responsible for the what I thought then to be temporary cessation of blogging.
• I was swamped when I got back from vacation. Played catch up for a while, and blogging got put on the back burner.
• Got obsessed with Grand Theft Auto IV. I’d never played any of the games in this series before, so it was a real revelation to me. I’m still rather obsessed with it, but I finished the game once already, so I don’t twitch when I go long periods of time without playing.
   

The thing is, the longer you go without blogging, the harder it is to get back into the swing of things. Mainly because it requires a post like this one–a "where the hell have I been" sort of post. So that’s why I’ve been missing from the blogosphere. I’m going to attempt to return to form now.
