The Long Lapse of Silence

It has been quite some time since I have been able to access this account. I am grateful that it was not deleted, seeing as it has been 1 year and 2 months since I posted anything. Judging from the number of new comments on previous posts - that number would be zero - I can tell the world sorely missed my writing. Ah, it is good to be needed and to know one has a part in shaping public affairs. The world is a better place because this blog is taking up space on a Google server somewhere.
