I know, I know

I know. I am a dunce. I said I am back and didnt post for almost a month. Various things schemed together to keep me away from work, friends and the internet. Well, first a very good friend fell ill and moved in with me. The poor thing was so bed-ridden and weak .. I skipped work for a couple of days just to comfort her. so I had some catching up to do on work and as these things hardly come by themselves .. two of my co-workers went down with apparently the same bug. So here I was, already behind in my schedule, but now completing some of their things as well.
Then another friend payed a surprise visit .. dropped in for a few days .. and I was busy showing her around. By this time I was ready to drop down and give up everything. So it took a week to recover from all that. And now finally .. here I am (again).
So, you all better watch this space .. I'm going to get down to business and write things of substance for a change ;-)
