Ahhh... yes. Where I'm from, we get to go where ever we need to to do what we do. Which is a good thing, these days. And don't get me wrong - I love a good story... but sometimes long is just long.
You're welcome, of course. I find myself occasionally adrift here, so if I can serve a purpose to another, it's a pleasant situation. I definitely hear you on the social life front. It's a very strange place to me, still. Enjoyable, though.
Maybe the patience will come again with time, or when it's most needed?
