If I'd known I'd be here for 14 years, I don't think I would have created my account on September 11.

And I didn't intend to. As I recall, I tried to sign up (at the suggestion of my friend Artemismad Scientist) earlier in September of 2004, but there were some technical issues - issues that resulted in that annoying "02" at the tail end of my username (there is no cathartes01, and never has been, as far as I know). It was only during a late night at my then-office that I got that straightened out, so I think I missed 9/10 by just an hour or so.

This was 14 years ago, as I said, so my memory on the details is suspect. 14 years is a long time. I've been a moderator for 12 of those years, and been a regular editor of the Comedy and Fantasy newsletters for most of that time.

And yes, I know I haven't entered a thing in this blog for over six years. Life has been... uninspiring, I suppose. Am I back to it, then? I don't know. I don't want to make statements I can't back up with deeds. Every night, just after midnight, I get the reminder to update my blog. That reminder has been there, taunting me, for so long that it's been as much a part of the background of my life as beer. More, actually; I don't drink beer every day.

If anyone is still following along, let me catch you up on what's been going on since May 13, 2012:

*Donut4* I spent my 2014 birthday in hospital as a result of a heart attack. As you can see, I survived it.
*Donut4* Several road trips happened. Some even before I quit writing here. I recorded some of them on my WordPress blog  Open in new Window.
*Donut4* I'm officially divorced with very little interest in dating. Unfortunately, this also means I don't have any health insurance.
*Donut4* I spent a month in Maui. Or "on" Maui. Still not sure how you're supposed to put it. No one says "on Manhattan."
*Donut4* Nerd camp (just this past June).
*Donut4* Still not published.

There's probably more, but I have to save some details for future entries, right?
