I thought you died.
I died psychologically and emotionally. I just didn't have the reserves to last through this winter. It was endless. Anyhow, I was reborn. You may recall that I was formerly know as The Backsplash King (deposed). I am seeking to regain my throne from whatever usurpers are out there. And now that the weather is at least survivable for primates, I have emerged from hibernation.
