If I were a normal person, I would have spent this post addressing the eighteen month hiatus. The true fact of the matter is that even I A not entirely sure of where I have been (mostly kidding on that…). I’m pretty sure that I got married, left my job, took a detour, got a new job, adopted a second dog, almost bought a house, took up jam-making as a new hobby, mourned the loss of my best (dog) friend and a fish too. So, here’s what we’re going to do. We’re going to pretend that that break never happened. Suddenly, I’m just full of content and brilliant stories that I will tell for weeks on end to dazzle and enliven you. Yes, that’s what we’ll do. Stay tuned for posts on all of the subjects above. Likely not in that order. Because order is orderly and I like chaos.
