So, where the hell have I been? Well, a funny thing happened to me on the way to Aiken: my car's transmission gave up the ghost in Waynesboro, Georgia. This led to a few days of intense stress and strife figuring out what to do, which was to get the transmission replaced, which is amazingly expensive, which was stressful and depressing in and of itself.

Anyway, long story short: because of the kindness of friends and a well-timed deposit of my federal tax return, everything looks like it's going to shape up okay. But it was touch-and-go there for a few days, it really was. At one point I was considering leaving the car in a Waynesboro parking lot and going off to live in the woods all Georgia Swamp Ape style.

Now, though, things are looking much brighter. We're working toward getting me a spot cleared to set up my own computer, at which point you may be able to expect more from me in terms of online communications. Until then, I'll keep trying to check in every Friday.

Or thereabouts. :)
