Yes, I missed a few days. It was technical difficulties–I was perfectly healthy, but could not access the Internet from my computer. Of course, there is a close link between technical and financial problems–generally most technical problems can be solved with sufficient money, but there was not sufficient money at the time to solve this one, so it took a few days to scrape something together.

I’d like to tell you all that I accomplished in my down time, but actually I did not accomplish all that much. I wrote a song. I started it late last week sometime, and kept poking at it, and by Wednesday I was putting the final touches on a lousy recording (the vocals are terrible because of the rush) so that I would have it to play at the Collision rehearsal–which did not happen, because Baxter was sick and Brittany had car trouble. However, I really like this song, and am hoping that they will want to include it in the band’s expanded repertoire.

I also poked a bit at the Multiverser web site, but became frustrated when I couldn’t get some code for table cell background images to work right, and abandoned it. I had intended to get more pages ready for upload, but wound up making some minor changes to the pages already present and barely starting another, none of which have made it to the site yet.

I did get my mother-in-law to the bank; she provided a loan which was a major factor in getting us up and running again. Since late last night, when contact was reestablished, I have been trying to catch up–and thus am working on a Saturday to make up for the lost time.

So I’d better get to it.
