I created this place -- title, format, layout and all, nearly a year ago, in October of last year in fact. The delay of eleven months before the actual first post is more a testament to procrastination than to a busy lifestyle. I kept promising I'd write, but somehow never got 'round to it.
Then, on the last day of August, I broke my right leg in a motorcycle accident. Nothing real flamboyant, just dropped the bike at very low speed (think of "Blue Maxy", the man in the yellow raincoat on a tricycle in "Laugh-In") and neglected to get my foot out from under the beast as it fell. Four days in the hospital, surgery (a rod inserted the length of the shinbone), and several weeks of one-legged living have given me plenty of time for reflection and thought.
That got me thinking of this empty blog, and the result was my opening post here. I'm returning to work next week, and won't have too many idle hours any more, but life will still be much slower, compared to before the accident, for many weeks to come. So, hopefully, before I get fully mobile again, I'll have acquired the habit of semi-regular writing.

I'm glad you found your way back to the blog. It's good to have a place to be able to find out how an old friend is doing when you can't always stay in touch.
Where have you gone?
