[Justin Loyer]

Glad to hear you're doing better and that Circuit Abbey is coming back, some of my favourite modules!

Which new synthrotek/antimatter modules are your designs? :)

After kicking that addiction I fell into the bottle. Alcohol helped me sleep, as my joints all ached after the pain med episode. So I got help to kick the alcohol. Those two things (I guess), plus generally poor outlook and a Portland winter, led to a big bout of depression, which I am being treated for. Meanwhile, life without a gall bladder is not the cake walk they promised. I continue to have, um, episodes.
