prodigal posting

it's been a while since I last posted – close to two months in fact – because of real-world, real-life concerns of mine. Rather than bore you with the details, here's a run down:

a) I've been busy with my day-job as EIC. It's fun and challenging at the same time.
b) Been traveling a bit because of above
c) Went to the province to fulfill a promise I made to my grandmother. Last year I told her I'd be there for her 100th birthday. So I flew in on August 1.
d) My aunt passed away on August 13.
e) My 100 year old granny passed away the next day
f) riding has been iffy thanks to the rainy season

Now that we've gotten that out of the way, it's back to our irregularly-scheduled programming.
