Just logging on quickly to let everyone know I'm still alive. I was laid off at work and after moving halfway around the world back to Texas, I'm currently job hunting. I can't justify to myself taking the time to indulge in the joy of writing as a hobby when there are bills that need to be paid. I hope you all can show me a bit more patience while I get things sorted. While I may not be the best at it, I do hope to continue bringing you the further adventures of Phil in this story and John in the other. I’m not sure when that’ll happen, but when I return, I promise to do so with shock and awe. Ok, maybe not that extreme, but if you happen to think “Oh, he’s back” with a grin when next I show up on the Update screen, then that’ll be enough for me. Until then, please continue to support the other authors here and feel free to give it a try yourself.
