A Letter about Points of Departure

Dear Readers,

I appreciate that you’ve continued to read what all I have written–and I appreciate that many of you note liking it. I mean to continue, of course, but I have a lot going on at the moment. I’ve made no secret that I’m working four jobs at the moment; three of them are picking up right now. Too, I’ve got another adventure brewing in my life (it’s nothing bad; quite the opposite, really). So things are busy, indeed.

Consequently, while I enjoy doing this, and I intend to keep doing so, today, I have to skip. I hope you’ll look again come Monday (provided, of course, that I can get done what needs doing over the weekend).

Best,

Geoffrey B. Elliott
