Time to fire this up again, methinks.

Going to be more to share in 2014, and I sure as hell ain't doing that sharing on FB.

"Hello, hello, it's good to be back, good to be back", Young Gods

Not done this (LJ) in a while - mainly due to my "next post" for 2 months being about 2 ppl who were very close and who passed on. The compulsion to make that the next post stopped me updating ( Read more... )
