Dear Readers,

&nbsp;

Kindly excuse my prolonged absence.

&nbsp;

Where have I been?

&nbsp;

I was zapped by the RSI gremlins.  It hasn't been pretty.

&nbsp;

What the heck are RSI gremlins?  Are they as nasty as Spike?  Are you o.k.???

&nbsp;

Thank you for asking.

&nbsp;

I'm fine.

&nbsp;

Just a bit tender in body (particularly forearms and wrists) and spirit (because I haven't been able to pursue my creative outlets of writing and guitar).  Woe is me.  Cue the violins.

&nbsp;

We all have "stuff".  In the scheme of things, I'm more than fine.

&nbsp;

All I can tell you is that <strong>Repetitive Strain Injuries</strong> suck.  <strong>Avoid them at all costs</strong>.

&nbsp;

Anywho....I'm not completely healed yet, but ENOUGH ALREADY!

&nbsp;

I'm moving on before my creative spirit shrivels up and fall back into <strong>Da Funk</strong>.  The way to avoid a Repetitive Injury of the Soul at all costs is to get my blogging tushie back into gear.

&nbsp;

So here's the lowdown.  There's Good News and there's Bad News.  Which do you want first?

&nbsp;

I can guarantee that my mother would pick the Bad News, so let's get her all riled up and start with the Good News.  :-D

&nbsp;

The Good News:  I may not have been able to write for these past couple of months, but I have been able to play!  Yay!

&nbsp;

See?  Play reaal
