Good morning, dear reader. This brief update was actually written last night; I was simply not able to post it until this morning. If you’re curious about the writing process, I can tell you this – writing something as though it were written in the future when your current present is the past can be a bit of a challenge.

I wanted to let everyone know that I am not disappearing again. Monday was a bit of a slow news day, so I took the day off and didn’t write anything. Unfortunately, the home internet service crapped out on Tuesday, was briefly restored on yesterday, but then crapped out again – so I haven’t been able to post anything. There were definitely some items of interest over the past two days, including, but not limited to, the following:

  • I have started coughing up blood;
  • I am freeing an ever-growing army of mucus monkeys;
  • I again chafe at the unfair disposition of policies by the bureaucracy (which was recently expanded to support the needs of the expanded bureaucracy);
  • I take serious notice of the fact that radiation burns suck; and,
  • I celebrate my final week of radiation treatments (yes, the last treatment is scheduled for tomorrow morning).

I will spend another hour on the phone with Comcast this evening to see if I can perform the appropriate stupid human tricks to restore domestic access to the Interwebz. Hopefully, a full-fledged update will be posted tonight. If not, I shall pen it tonight and post it as soon as possible.

Until next time, dear friends, take care of each other.

It’s only a flesh wound.
