I just wanted to pop in and apologize for my disappearing act. My mother had some health issues and there were some other things going on. Suffice it to say, I'm very glad to see the end of 2011!
The boys are back and anxious to get going again (as am I). I believe Apollo had an open thread with Alex and Brandon had one with Komos. I don't think that I left anyone else hanging. If I did, poke me, please.
