I go away for a couple of months, and you completely disappear from the usual hangouts.  So I seek you out... only to find that you've gone enduro-grunt and more.  Wow.  I suppose it's asking too much for an explanation this late in the game.   I'll throw in a couple of -- so you know -- who I am -- .
