Thanks, folks! It's good to be back.
I had finally achieved what I thought was a long overdue promotion at work. So my workload increased exponentially. Sadly my mentor went on medical leave and my new boss (who I later found out had stridently opposed my promotion) did everything in her power to get rid of me. To make a long story short (TOO LATE!) she failed and I was able to transfer to a different division in the company. But during that time, my workload and lack of access to cable didn't really allow me to enjoy the board here.
But at least for now I'm back and hope to check in weekly...

And every brother in Detroit knows Pizza Papalis is the best. lol

"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
