I'm... back???

I've been encouraged recently by my lovely wife and friend(s?) to resume my blogging for whatever reason. I guess I have to admit that in the brief time I was blogging I experienced some joy from it - some. There is something therapeutic in the act of writing out your inner-most thoughts and feelings and putting them on display for all the world to see... even if it's only 5-6 people in the world that actually care to see it. Fair enough... here we go again.
