a sabbatical of sorts...

i'm not even sure if that's a fair description... like so many words that had distinct meanings at one point in time or another, we've taken a word like "sabbatical" and turned it into a holiday, or a break, instead of a period of religious rest or reflection. as usual, God gets stuck in the back of the room, and we toss a drape over him to dupe our minds into believing that he's just a chair we don't sit in anymore, in order that we can feel better about going out and buying a completely expensive and extravagant chair that we can love and interpret however we want.
whatever, that's not the point.
the point, then, dear readers (like that "s" really needs to be there), that my life is soon taking a rather significant change, in that my internet place downtown is closing this evening due to an insane 150% increase in rent. so my computer access, which has been infrequent at the best of times, will become even more so now. alas. i will still try to get here once in a while, but as of today, i make no guarantees as to my online availability. such is the world in which we live.
so, for now, this is all i say... i will come when i can, i will enjoy my distance as well, to the best of my ability, and if there is any way to make it about God, i'll do what i can, although lately, what i can do is a whole lot of nothing, stripped even of the shiny package in which i used to keep it to impress guests and onlookers.
anyway, have a good one, and i will talk to you again the moment it's convenient.

don't forget me.
