I'm back. Did you miss me?


Anyone?


Hello? Hello?


Yeah, that's what I thought. Oh, well. I'll bet my mom missed me.


Mom?


Hello? Hello?


Man. This is a tough audience. I'll let you in on a little secret, though.


It's a really good thing I had no computer this week. Sometimes things truly do happen for a reason, and this whole virus thing is a perfect example of that. We've had a very interesting seven days around here, and if there has been a single emotion left unturned, I can't think of what it would be. I started out last Sunday in a white hot fury, the likes of which I have never before experienced, and ended on Thursday with a sense of peace that is still wrapped snugly around me.


Anything I'd have written last week would have been a knee jerk reaction, and I'd probably have had to spend a lot of time repairing the damage. But now I've got a brand new outlook on everything, a brand new perspective that has finally gelled in the last week. It's safe to let me back on the keyboard.


And, boy, do I have a lot to say.
