I've been somewhat absent the last little while, myself.
Let's see. I broke up with my long-time girlfriend, who had accepted my proposal.
Alas, she wanted to have kids, and I... can't. And she wanted 'the whole experience', so... after a while, I started dating again, which I'm still doing. Nothing seems to be in the long-term range, as yet, but time will tell.
My painting is vigorous and plentiful, but I have terrible luck with cameras.
One died. Replaced it. It fell off a 12th floor balcony. This is not, apparently, covered under warranty. Got another, which got stolen on my way home with it, along with several other things in the bag. No sympathy from the bastards at the store. So, at present, I'm dating casually, painting armies (for fun and profit), and am generally doing pretty well, but for the lack of a camera.
I forget. Do I know you, IPM?
