While it has 6een... Admittedly, a l9ng time c9ming, I think n9w is 6etter than never t9 start 6eing m9re active 9n my 6l9g again. While the last... G9d... Nine m9nths n9w have 6een relatively uneventful and n9t w9rth menti9ning.  At least t9 the p9int 9f n9t 69thering t9 menti9n what has 6een g9ing 9n in my life, th9ugh rec9llecting the events 9f the alm9st half sweep is s9mething I may get ar9und t9 at a later time... I can at the very least reassure y9u all that the time away has 6een very pleasant, even if it wasn’t necessarily pr9ductive l9l. 

I am quite excited t9 return and rec9nnect with 9ld peers, as well as meeting with the new. I h9pe that there hasn’t 6een t99 much I’ve missed 9ut 9n while I was away. It may take s9me time t9 get a pr9per queue set up again, and s9me general decluttering in regards t9 my 6l9g itself, 6ut there isn’t much 9f a rush, either t9 start right away with either. 

As y9u may n9t kn9w, we n9w have an ask 6l9g, as requested 6y means 9f v9te. The v9te resulted in a maj9rity v9te 9f 10/12 s9...here we are. N9, I shall n9t say wh9 the tw9 were n9r their reas9ns f9r d9ing s9, just be aware that they v9ted negative, even if their eff9rts were meaningless. I am aware that pinging 9r tagging 9r whatever y9u call it is a usually successful way 9f getting p9pular s9 I am g9ing t9 d9 s9. I ap9l9gize in advance if the ping/ tag was unwanted and y9u are free t9 decline 9ur ping.
