Hello again…

- Well. You’re back.

- Um, what?

- It’s been a while since we’ve seen you here.

- Yes. Yes, I guess it has.

- So… what have you been up to?

- What do you mean?

- I mean, where were you?

- Oh. When I wasn’t here?

- That’s right.

- I guess I was there.

- Not funny.

- There were holidays.

- That was well over a month ago.

- Is it? Why, I guess you’re right.

- You’re stalling.

- I’ve been busy.

- We’ve all been busy.

- I’ve been writing lectures, doing client work…

- Sounds like you’re making excuses.

- I don’t want to do that. I…um…haven’t been publishing.

- We noticed.

- I am coming back.

- Are you?

- Yes.

- I guess we’ll see. And for next time.

- Next time?

- Say you’ve gone fishing or something.

- Oh. Yes, that makes a lot of sense. I’ll do that. Thank you.

- I have to go now.

- I understand. I hope you’ll drop by again.

- I guess we’ll see.

I thought I’d borrow a page from Edward Albee’s The Zoo Story to say my short vacation hiatus became more of a mini sabbatical. For those of you who are still with me – welcome back. And thanks for your patience.

Here’s to 2013.
