AM BACK. AM HERE. (I THINK)


I did not write when I was away. I slept in most of the 14 days. Did I get recharged? I had plenty of time exploring nothing which could be everything. That kid behind me with her two fingers representing horns got it right---sloth is the playground of the devil. And rust. Let me re-crank. Am back. Am here. (I think).
