Well, I'm back.  I was working on my Alaska posts and got behind.  I felt like I needed to finish that set of  posts before I could move on to something else, but I just didn't feel like it.  I felt bad because I hadn't finished the story so I didn't write anything else.  Then as more time passed it became more and more futile.
Maybe I'll finish the Alaska posts, maybe I won't.  It's my blog, I can write what ever I want.
