In the last few months, I have not been posting here as much as I normally do. I am sorry, I've had a LOT going on in my head.
Much of it involves religion, so I can't talk about that here. Some more involves politics, another taboo topic here.

I've also learned of some friends of friends who died in military actions. One of whom I had been meaning to get in touch about some trivial matter.

So, I've been in rather deep reflective mood recently.

Most of my free time is spent with my kids and I've been trying to set aside blocks to MAKE kilts and kilt stuff (which has gotten VERY slow recently).

Complicating matters, my wife is home working on her Masters of Music Ed through an on-line program. As I work out of my house, it has made my work harder to get done.

Plus, there is more that I would rather not talk about.

With all this going on, my usual posting is WAY down. I look when I can. The problem is actually the SHEER number of new posts. I usually have hundreds, if not over a thousand, and only a few minutes to flip through them. I have only been posting when I felt I would REALLY contribute or help in the matter on hand.

I just wanted to let everyone know it wasn't anything personal or forum-related (I am not planning to go anywhere). I'll be back to normal in a few weeks. My wife's teaching begins in August and the normal schedule should resume.

Till then . . .
God Bless,
