I’ve been away from this blog for a while, and before I launch back into it, I feel like the absence deserves an explanation. Several things have happened in the interim that contributed to my time away from the blog, not all of them bad, not all of them good.
Without getting into a long-winded ramble about personal issues, over the last six months I’ve:
- Found out my grandfather has Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma (he’s responding well to treatment now, but it was touch-and-go for a while)
- Moved halfway across the continent, from Los Angeles back to my home state of Minnesota
- Found out that I may have celiac disease (an auto-immune disorder where your body attacks itself if you ingest gluten, which is found in wheat, rye, barley, and sometimes oats)
- Experienced joblessness amidst the deepest recession I’ve ever seen in my almost 29 years of life
So, it’s been an eventful enough Winter and Spring that even playing WoW took to the sidelines for a while, but I’m happy to say that life is settling down again finally, and I’m back. I’m unsure as to what to do with The Ethical Alt for now, what with 4.2 coming out today and plenty of catching up to do. It won’t get forgotten, but there may not be many new installments for the time being. I will try to get an “Ethical Alt Does The Fire Festival” out sometime before the Fourth of July, but no promises.
For now, I thank you for indulging in this posting’s brief foray outside of WoW and hope you’ll rejoin me as I write more over the next six months.
