Shhhhhhhh -

Keep it under your hat, but I'm going to post something here - broken keyboard and all (but that's another story). It's been a whale of a year, with enormous peaks and valleys, and it has seemed like too much to even put pen to paper (so to speak).

Oddly enough, the first post here, the one that pretty much created "Leaving Nadderby", spoke to just the kind of year this has been. If anyone else sees this post, I will as in the past recommend that you find the original "Looking Back" from February 2008 as an introduction to what Leaving Nadderby is all about, when I'm able to do it.

The year has not all been bad news, and even in adjusting to new directions there have been whispers of new beginnings & possibilities.

My deepest apologies to anyone who has checked by at this site over the past year. This is the first day of Spring (at least since 7:44 EDT), so maybe it really can be a new beginning. I stopped making rash promises about what I would be able to do a long time ago, but there is hope. [BTW, when people talk about "opening a Pandora's Box" in reference to unleashing a torrent of evils, they often forget that the storyteller said that there was still one thing remaining to be unleashed after Pandora's curiosity had turned loose all of the world's evils - Hope. (Storytellers, paradoxically, often know the most about telling the Truth)].

If I can get going again, I will look into the RSS possibilities (about which I was enlightened last year - thanks to a reader) as a way to get word around, but for today it's just about seeing if I can manage to both type AND hit the "publish post" button.

Stay tuned.
