we apologize for the inconvenience

Sorry, folks. I know it's been quiet and grim around here. I'm writing a lot but very little of note, hence very little in here. Not that anything in here is usually of note anyway, but you know what I mean. I think.

I'm just going through one of those Trying Personal Times we all have periodically, aided and abetted by Sept. 11 and the aftermath and the war. I am still stunned. I soak up information, media, memes, anything to keep from thinking things like my father usually works in the Capitol building and similar uneasy shit.

And there's stuff you don't know. Something which breaks my heart and mangles my mind. Something which pushes the limits of my ability to understand. Something which keeps a low-level beat of anxiety running in the back of my life, every day. The drums have been louder lately, and sometimes it's hard to think over them.

Yes, I'm being cryptic. Deal with it.
