Yup, still alive and kicking since my last journal update... which was a year and a half ago (to the day, no less!). I'll spare the bulk of that time and simply say that I'm getting by and things are holding more or less steady.

I tend to have some pretty dark moods, but I've shaken those off for now and look on to better things - a trip in November to visit family, the first Christmas at home in over 3 years, and hopefully a good visit from my wife's doc in November.

Hopefully most of you are managing to avoid that pesky swine flu and all of his diverse brethren that have come to pass. We've been fortunate so far, and I'm really hoping to keep it that way.

That's all for now. I do check my account on a regular basis, at least every couple of days, and I'm still planning on the four seasons photo shoot that I mentioned in my last journal entry. Sadly, time has managed to avoid our household, as we seem to have none of it. Ta-ta!
