But you never gave me a goat

"The Return of the Prodigal Son," Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (1606-1669).

"Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a goat, that I might make merry with my friends"
Luke 15:29-30 (King James Bible)

Well, I'm back.

It's been quite a while, and I want to make it clear I was not lolling around on a beach, or engaging in debauched hijinks in Las Vegas.

No, instead I thought things over very carefully and said to myself, "Hey, I wonder if it would be fun to become horribly sick?"

So I decided to become horribly sick.

I toasted Christmas with Delsym®, I rang in the New Year with NyQuil®, and I began this semester coughing like a victim of tuberculosis and wandering the University looking like one of the living dead.

I'm better now.

I'm not well, you understand. But drugs (POWERFUL DRUGS) are finally bringing me back to the land of the living.

Expect witty postings soon.
