Hello all. It was not my intention to sit this mission out, and I ought to have at least made some time to explain my prolonged absence. The thing of it is, by the time I realized my absence was going to be prolonged, it sort of already was. 2004 ended with a bang for me, and I've finally had a few days away from it all to catch my breath and gather my bearings. I'm in the process of moving to a new apartment, and I haven't had internet access at home for a few months anyway, but I'm going to be stopping in at the local wi-fi hot spot at least bi-weekly from this point onward. I haven't yet read through the seventy-some odd posts made in my absence, but I will, presently. In the meantime, I hope all is well with you all and I look forward to joining you in the next mission. ~Raye, a.k.a Dedemona __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
