I’m back, again.
I think I’m really back, now.
Been thinking about how I was going to explain being gone.
Almost two years is a long time.
It started as an innocent but well needed pause at the 15-not-20 year mark, October 2021.
Time hit me hard. Levelled me. 15 years passed and I was still standing, but exactly in the same emotional spot, same stale state, doing the same thing. I just needed to break it all – the pattern, the rote, the roots, the acidulous acceptance. Well due.
Self-assured, based on the belief that 14 years published without missing a beat, not one single week, could be paused. I figured two and a half months; I’d fire back up in January 2022.

September 2023; it’s best to go with brevity.
Following four 2022 surgeries, halfway toward, COVID tore me apart right before Christmas. Wrecked me. Thoroughly.
Anyway, it’s all just weak mind wandering now, a slow-roll streaming 1/2-inch surface view belying the curious currents under that bridge over troubled.
As for regularity; unguaranteed.
As for off-beat irregularity; yeah, you can count on me for that, for sure.
sincerely, knabbler.
