Possibly tomorrow if all goes well.
I’ve been offline, ignoring most email, personal messages, and news. I haven’t meant to be rude, but I’ve been sunk in a funk, and a deep dark one at that. Wintery temps and record-setting rains haven’t helped matters.
This morning I received a feast of spiritual sustenance from my friend Alexander. I’d sent him a selfish and whiny missive. He must have spent his entire evening responding to it. He sent humor, love, scholarship, and entertainingly unconventional theology. It reset my perspective. It cheered me as no standard attempt at cheer could have done.
So I will be back. Please just hang on to that patience a while longer.

Meanwhile, the final book excerpt went up at the Practical Freedomista blog. This one — simple and mundane but very wise — we owe to a contributor who prefers to keep a low profile.
So glad you have that special friend! I have found one too, recently. Makes such a difference. And we will all be glad (dare I say “we” ?) to have you back blogging.
This dogs vs. stairs compilation should help:

As you do know you have many friends that can be called on if ever needed.
It is good that everything is working out. It sure has been a dreary year here in the PNW, enough to get the strongest of us down.
I’m glad you’re back. Get going again, maybe into artwork that’s more relaxing.
Go shooting? If your head hurts, use an air rifle. I find that getting out and using that fresh air to ventilate some cans (non-deposit, of course) is a very nice thing.
Sometimes heavy firepower is exactly what the doctor ordered. Bigger isn’t always better, but sometimes it… is.
I hope you feel better soon! I was really looking forward to gloating about the parts of the new book I just finished reading!
Take your time 🙂
Is your vitamin D3 intake high enough, BTW? I need 5.000 daily just for maintenance (at 180#), and it helps prevent dark moods.
I ordered your new book just days ago and already received it in the mail – in Germany!
Printed over here it seems. Also, zero shipping charges this way. Sweet.
