it's been a while...

So, I am fully aware that it's been a LONG time since an update has been posted. I am not ready for a full update just yet, but there is one coming SOON. I'm going to work on it over the next few days (and when you read it, you'll understand it all I'm sure). It's been a long summer, and an even longer 19 or so months. I'm trying to keep on top of things here, but life (and death) has gotten in the way more often than not. So, I am still alive, and I am even working on getting you up to date on everything going on with my life. :)
