It’s been over two months since I posted something. In that time, I’ve been absolutely crazy busy, and most of my updates have been in the form of quick fly-bys at Facebook or Twitter. I needed a short breather today, so I’m taking my lunch early, and writing a post. If you click through, please note there is a rather graphic image in the full post!
