I’ve been having a rough time of things lately. The sudden death of one my oldest and dearest friends, and the equally sudden impact of an SUV against me on my bike… have been the worst of it.

I haven’t fully recovered from either of these, and frankly I probably never will. But I’m more or less OK.

I’ve still been working on the Tales, and I even have a few finished that I haven’t posted. I kinda want to get back on my feet before I start doing that again.

Thanks to those who’ve expressed concern… it means more to me than you might realize.
