To the chosen few:
        As you can see by the date it has been a very long time since I last checked in. I had the best intentions of keeping this blog up to date. I had deemed it essential that its main purpose was to act as a clearinghouse, so to speak, for first-time experiencers. As I was making plans for the start-up I was struck down by a rare liver disorder most often associated with those who have traveled to remote tropical wilderness locations and whilst there have been unable to find accommodations with the basic protective measures in place needed to keep them safe from exposure to disease-carrying amoebas, insects, rodents and the like. The furthest I have traveled since 2010 has been Montreal to the north and New York City to the south of my Massachusetts home. How I became the poster boy for scary swamp disease exposure is a cruel joke on me. Now, almost nine years later, I have survived the rampage to my body and, specifically, to my liver and nervous system with the acceptable amount of after effects from the brutally strong medicinal poisons needed to combat the tropical scourge and save my life. So, to wrap it all up, I have returned and I am ready to rock.
