well it has been quite awhile since i last wrote here. I have been on a sabbatical of great import for me- it is on going so my time here will be patchy at best; irregular at least However i did want you all to know iam very much alive & kicking( screaming too because i really would like to write here more but circumstances will not permit that )so there you have it- iam here- I don not die but merely haunt The Journals every so often!
