Have you ever laid down to take a thirty-minute ‘power nap’ and found yourself sleeping for three or more hours? Even if you had not originally planned to find such solace in a long slumber, some part of you (mind, body or soul) knew you needed to sleep, to put aside the world as you knew it and reboot. Well, call me the ‘Rip Van Winkle’ of blogging because my minor trip to the parentals and time away from the intarwebz has grown into a 2+ week hiatus from talking to the internet each day. Funny thing is… I don’t mind this time we’ve spent apart.  Don’t get me wrong.  I’ve missed you and have so much to tell you now, but I was doing other things… better things than blogging.  I was living, so that I can fill your ear and screen with new tales and ponderings. So I’ll leave it up to you to check back often as I post the stories and musings of our time apart.  Just don’t forget to scroll down and check out all the belated posts I’ll be finally sharing over the next few days… It’s nice to be back with you, Internet.  Really nice.
