I’ve got some personal problems going on right now. They’re not so much my problems as they are problems of a personal nature, and as much as I would love to get out my poison pen and machine gun a few people’s names in public, I’m not going to do that. Dragging people’s names through the mud doesn’t accomplish anything. They’ve tarnished the reputations of some of my family members by doing that to them, but I want to be above that.
That said, it’s a really good thing I don’t have that Tu-144, because I’d be buzzing someone’s house at Mach 1 right now if I did, and I doubt that would be pretty.
I don’t know what this means for anything else. Writing here helps me to focus and to take my mind off the garbage that goes on outside my front door. So I don’t expect any long hiatus or anything like that. What I intended to post right now isn’t going to happen. I’ve written a couple of paragraphs but that’s it. I might finish it tomorrow.
So that’s what’s going on. Those of you who pray, if you’d say one for my family in general, I’d appreciate it. (I don’t want to get any more specific than that. God knows the situation, and He knows it a whole lot better than I do anyway.)

You’ve got more than one from here. Hope everything works out.

Same here.
And a humble piece of advice from someone who’s got more knives in his back then Julius Caesar… There’s nothing more liberating than "Bless[ing] those who curse you, do[ing] good to those who hate you, and pray[ing] for those who spitefully use you." (Matt 5:44) It’s more than just a "Do good unto others" mantra… it’s an empowerment.

On the list.
Stay strong, Dave.
