...only to explain my nonexistence a bit and then return thither.
You've probably noticed by now that I haven't been very active on Holy Worlds recently. I'm sorry, I wish I could be, but you see, I have two jobs, and there's other stuff going on, and I'm tired and brain-dead pretty constantly, and I never have much time for anything. So HW has taken the brunt of my lack of time, I guess you could say.
Anyway, I'm here to apologize for that, and for not saying anything sooner. I miss you all, and I hope things get a little less crazy for me soon so I can be active again.
I'm also here to let y'all know that I'm leaving for vacation early tomorrow morning, and I won't be back until Friday evening sometime, so I will be completely absent from the forum and from the Skype stuff. But I trust everyone will survive without me.
That's all I had to say, so... Bon voyage!
- oh wait, it's ME leaving... Er, see y'all later! 
Work picks up again tomorrow, and I don't know how crazy that will be but I'll probably be working every day and exhausted when I'm not, like I was before I went on vacation.
