I have successfully completed my transatlantic excursion.   I am currently delighting myself with certain benefits I'll not take for granted again any time soon (think good tasting but affordable coffee), so I shant be properly posting for another few days unless my rehabilitation goes on much faster than I expect.  Give me 3-10 days to settle in. 

As I have only dropped in on one thread during my entire hiatus, I am completely unaware of the status of other threads or, in particular, new threads that perhaps warrant my attention.  If you have a thread out there where you wanted me to jump in, you'd best let me know.

As a final note, I spent the last 4 days with forum member Dannyboy on his turf in England.  A fine chap.  I have been tasked with composing a joint statement and submitting it to ya'll.  I will make that the exception to my 3-10 day request.

Peace out homeslices. Logged
