I know a non zero number of you are out there wondering where the hell I am. I have been more or less intentionally IM less and on a short Web leash for several weeks. Well, I’m busy. I don’t really feel like talking, and while I putter a bit here and there, I am still wrapping up the backend stuff on Haunting Alexandria, trying to get back into the groove with work and school, and generally trying to get my immediate surroundings under control. Such is the way of trying to get the hustle on. Most of you know that my typical process is to go on lockdown until the ship is aright and the projects are done. Some of you know that this process is a variable thing and it is done when it is done. I return messages when I am able to and mostly interact with things in my immediate vicinity. (The cat gets a lot of chatting up.) All of you will accept this. If you choose to accept this gracefully or not is entirely up to you, though being pushy and/or passive aggressive is only going to lessen the priority with which I respond to queries and discussions.
