I *am* still alive!

Well, I started this blog with nothing but good intentions to post on a somewhat regular basis.... But obviously, intentions aren't enough to get it done--I actually have to take the time to write something (ahh...so *that's* how this all works! lol). For some reason, I decided to revisit my blog today and discovered three comments...I didn't actually think anyone would read this but me! So for the benefit of those who may (for some reason or another) want to read what I have to say, I will try to update this soon. I will just say for now that I am busy with work (as usual), in the process of deciding what to do for next year, and enjoying some new hobbies in addition to those I have previously discussed. That's all I have time for now, but I shall try to write more very soon.
