I have become reticent of late. Circumstances have surrounded me such that my sense of control over events has been frayed nearly to the breaking point and I have embraced notions that would have been anathema to me just one year ago. I have taken not just one, but two men into my confidence, and in doing so have laid open my most private thoughts and memories to be prodded and explored- and all within a time span so brief as to be but an eye-blink. This is the reason for my prolonged silences and the dearth of tales once so prevalent here.<\/p>\n
Changes are coming; drastic, dangerous ventures that once done cannot be undone. I surrender myself to the judgment of this ?modern’ world you have created, but I reserve the right to throw down my arms, abandon my safe haven and flee into the wilderness.<\/p>\n
Those I trust assure me such drastic measures should never be necessary. I do wish I shared their certainty, but I admit to being of a much less charitable disposition of late. Along those lines I have made some changes in preparation for the coming weeks’ festivities. First, there is a new site design in the works. Second, I will be turning on TypeKey registration for comments. Those who shun TypeKey for whatever reason are still welcome to comment, but those comments are subject to approval. I shall endeavour to be diligent and see comments move fairly swiftly, but I am a creature of slow habits so I make no firm promises.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
