Regular readers of the column may have noticed that my updates have become somewhat irregular as of late, especially considering that I’m still on the first day of my trip to Shikoku just after New Year’s. Rest assured that I am still alive and well, and that I have been hard at work editing the tale, which continues to grow in the telling. I’ve simply been rather preoccupied with a variety of major events—including one extremely major one—these last few months, and that, along with an Internet connection that always knows when I least want it to flake out, has taken up the majority of my time.
That said, I would be remiss if I were to keep you in the dark any longer waiting for my return, so I’ll let the attached picture help do some of the explaining. With any luck, I’ll be back here sometime soon, and back on track for weekly updates. Wish me luck!
