The blog is back. And, as always, about nine years of blogging are inaccessible. Some of it went down the data pipe in a swirly motion of the blogosphere’s collective toilet bowl water, some has been nicely used against me in more than one court of public opinions (little advice - write about being drunk and thinking about blowing your own brains out, kooks lap that stuff up), other things still get me to occasional confused reader asking where it went.
