To My Avid Readers

I sincerely apologize for my absence.  I know it's been hard for you, and my phantom-like existence is frustrating and largely unforgivable,  but in a vein attempt to justify myself, let me offer you an explanation.  

It's due to a combination of factors.  Mainly: a flood of academic assignments, successive trips, and a failing economic market.  Also, I felt compelled to finish my latest Chuck Palahniuk book, Rant.  It all happened in the blink of an eye, and in order to keep my head above water I couldn't afford to stop and contemplate, so I sincerely apologize.

For now, it is off to KraKow, Poland, to get a first person perspective of the Home-Country!  Until Monday, when I promise to return in full force with constant updates,  Na Zdrowie!
