yeah, so, i haven't been on here in a really, ridiculously long time. very sorry for disappearing without explanaition.
but here i am again, and i wanted to make a little official hello.
hello.
quick update/excuse: last we spoke, i was in new york. then i went to switzerland for what was supposed to be two weeks, and stayed for six months...
ah, life & it's crazy curveballs.
anyway, just wanted to say hey & that i hope to be popping my head in the orchard door from time to time a bit more. even though i'm uberbusy, this place brings out the insomniac in me.
i hope you all are well & thriving!

it's good to see you, deadeye.
i've wondered a few times "what the heck ever happened to..." and the last time wasn't that long ago.
do stick around, 'o chat friend of old. even if it is now and then. i'll take that over "where the heck did they go this time...."

welcome back.

welcome home.

everytime i make eggs... i think of your name, and you.

glad you're doing well!

I'm very glad to see you back!

(they have the Internet in Switzerland, you know)

thanks for the welcomes, michelle, kylie & keith!
good to be back, "where everybody knows your name..." okay, things are getting a little too hallmark.
but truly, it's so good to "see" your familiar faces.
and keith, i know, yes, they have the internet there, and yes, i could have would have should have... but the place i was at is somewhat of a big-brother-hostage situation. for as great as it is otherwise, they make it ridiculously hard to get ahold of anyone in "the outside world..."
i know, it sounds like i was in a cult.
which it kind of was... in its own way...
anyway, i'm glad to be back in the land of the communicating & hope to keep bobbing in and out & would love to hear how you all are these days.
good night & happy breakfasts (with OR without eggs...)

I'd love to publicly announce my return. It's been a long time (gosh, 2 weeks shy of a year). No reason, other than busy-ness. I've missed The Orchard and will promise to stop by more often...

Welcome back Deadey and ChrisQ!
