What?!

The length of time between posts is painfully apparent this time. I am almost embarassed to offer up an explanation, so I don't think I will. Obviously, a lot has happened between now and then. I would love to share some of it, but there is an awful lot that I would like to leave in the "Then" category. So please, forgive me for taking so long. It wasn't easy to make it to this point. Things will make sense soon enough.
