A NOTE TO MY FRIENDS AND LOYAL READERS...

By now you've probably noticed that I've missed a number of regular postings.

Without going into too much detail, I just want you to know that I'm taking a little time off to take care of a couple of physical problems that I've dealt with over the past three decades but have intensified over the last few months. Hopefully these will be resolved in a short time and I'll be able to get back to regular postings.

In the meantime, I'll try to make a few postings here and there whenever I can and I want you all to know how much I've appreciated your loyalty since I started posting in May of 2008. If you want to check out any of my past postings, you can find them in my Archives just after my bio in the right-hand column. I hope that you'll save your subscription links so you'll be notified whenever I make a posting.

If you don't have a link, it's pretty easy to establish one - just click the little blue box in the URL address box at the top of your window or click on either the "Posts" or the "All Comments" link under "SUBSCRIBE HERE..." at the top of the right-hand column and then click one of the options for notification.

If you want to contact me other than through a published comment to one of my stories, you can still email me.
