Something of Importance

Well...

 Hello There... It has been some time since we last had a chance to meet. Some time since I could offer some personal insight and a viewpoint unique to my own. Nevertheless, I still have every intention of continuing this blog, but now that things have changed I'll need to better set aside time to keep everyone posted and also to keep things interested. That being said, like a status update for 2021, it'll be a challenge to keep coming up with ideas. The most common problem of blogs, even the long-standing ones, bores from the constant need for unique content. This will take some time to rebuild ESPECIALLY due to the unannounced hiatus. Fortunately, ideas do spring up from the mind, so it's just a matter of putting in the work from pen to pad to post.  To those that still stayed with this blog, thank you all. Keep looking forward to later posts to come!
