Reports of my demise... you know the rest...

Yeah, I know. It's been a long road... a LOT longer than expected. I won't go into great details suffice to say I'm tentatively "back" as of this week. I was hoping that would be the case after Christmas, but with sick family recovering (so thankfully) yet needing care, I've had to prioritize looking after then until they could cope better by themselves.

Still, is it any surprise that it was an old female friend sending me a 'scolding' email that finally brought me back?

Thus, this coming weekend, there will be several new posts going up, including hopefully a (much-delayed) book review, some art (new and 'flashback') and a couple of features I hope folks find fun (or at least, interesting). I've even been working on a story I'm thinking of posting, though I'm a bit nervous that it might be too 'mean' for some folks' tastes!

As to the future of this blog... I had a bunch of content almost ready to go before everything hit the fan late last year, so my hope is that I can at least get those posts and pieces finished up and out for you to enjoy.

I will likely space them out a day or so apart, to give people time to comment (and of course notice there are actually new posts again!), but yeah... new stuff is on the way. About time, eh?

I hope the spanko and blogging worlds have been well since I've been offline (I've not only been absent from my blog, but from the whole frakin' blogsphere!), and hope all my friends and readers are doing well too.

I'd also like to thank my long-time close online friends who've given me space and time to sort things out. As much as I've missed you, I really needed that break... though I look forward to hopefully resuming correspondence, friendship and - of course - this blog, for 2013.

I've a lot to catch up on, and a lot to comment on too. For everyone who's stuck around... I hope this will be fun again for both of us!

Here's to 2013 being a better year, and a much more spanky one, too!

Cheers,
Banjo
