Greetings & Salutations!
Regrettably I did not exercise forethought in informing you all of my impending trip out of town, now in progress, for which I most sincerely apologize.
I will be returned come the 21st, next & will resume all my gaming & initiatives-in-progress at that time.
If anybody asks (and not that they would), I am in Russell, Kansas, a burg of less than 6000 souls out on the Prarie, some 250 miles due west of Kansas City, the houseguest of an enchanting lady whose hospitality & company were not to be declined when the opportunity to get away for a few days presented itself.
I am enjoying myself so thoroughly that one has to believe that it will improve my game, once I return
In any case, I wished to post some additional word regarding disappearance, knowing that some will still fail to have recieved any notice.
Hopefully, those neglected comrades will find it within their Heart to forgive an aging general.
<center> My Compliments to you all!
