Thank you, Dearest.  Nice to be back.  Actually, I've spoke in real-life of you several times in the past few weeks when I've been talking about Jamaica. . . , talking about the crime and gangs there that you mention in your blog.

It's about time you got off vacation and back to doing what you do best.  Good to see you back in the neigbourhood Joe.

ick!, Factor !!!
I'm going to address that, I think.  I'm debating whether I want to get to far away from my country-bumpkin theme.  haha

My impression was that you were trying out some other writing... but that doesn't answer the question totally... should I phrase it as "what have you been up to in your absence?"

Hiya, Lensman
Thanks for the welcome back.  It's my understanding that Michael got a job writing for an alternative (that's in his words) magazine.

Joe

I knew all that stuff?  Ha...great comeback post, Joe, in typical style, and I'm glad I could be there with my camera...   Cool metaphor, very Oz-like, and, reading between the lines, it seems you've been trying some writing gigs at the other end of the Yellow Brick Road (didn't happen to see Mike Brown out there, did you?  haha..).  In the past, I've snooped around a few other blogging sites out of curiosity and, you're right, there's no place like Blogit for the community feeling.  The other places struck me as more like sign boards.  Anyway, welcome back to Kansas, Joe.  You've been a real contributor to the community here.  Looking forward to seeing you kicking in again for 2006 ~

WELCOME BACK!!  Your post is so sweet, and beautifully written, as usual!  I can't tell you how much what you wrote means to me!  And you are so right - I did get my courage back, thanks to you and your wonderful comments on my posts.  You couldn't have written anything nicer, and your timing is impeccable.  Much love to you, my dear!  Happy '06!
