Well, listen...

Some time away is not an entirely bad thing. I love this place! (And, y'know, some fellow Transfans who I know online only as well...) I've taken a good bit of time off lately to sort out "real world" things and it's amazing how much utilizing your spare time in different ways can accomplish. (Been spending a good deal of time here this past couple of days though...on account of a rare two days off that just happens to coincide with Alice Day.) I wish you luck!

I don't wear it on my sleave like you do but as you know we are brothers in more ways than one. :) Through that revelation it seems I'd gotten on much better with someone who, not even a year ago I don't think, had previously just been a face in the crowd to me. I hope you feel the same.

Oh, and I still owe you a prize. (Yes, an actual prize!) For the life of me I'd totally forgotten what your prize was meant to be! But, man, that ain't what it's all about, right?

Do what you gotta do but, remember, there's a warm seat for you here.
