It's been a long time since I last wrote to you. All of you. I'm sorry that I have been away, but it has not been easy to be a part of all of this lately.

I promise that I will try to be more involved in this diary. I have just, well, let's just say I've been pre- occupied. (By the way, I have no idea if I spelled that right.)

So, I tell you now, I will write as soon as I can. And to those of you who check up on me...I'm still alive and I assure you much more interesting things in the future.
