friends,<br>
<br>
I say friends knowing I may not have many left. I have been
out of it<br>
for many months now, during that time I have treated some
folks very<br>
badly. I am so very sorry for my behavior and hope that I
can earn their<br>
forgiveness. At the very least I can make them whole, and
that is what I<br>
am endeavoring to do now.<br>
<br>
You may be wondering what happened to me. I had emergency
surgery last<br>
year to remove a pesky organ that up and died. After that I
got addicted<br>
to the pain meds. After kicking that addiction I fell into
the bottle.<br>
Alcohol helped me sleep, as my joints all ached after the
pain med<br>
episode. So I got help to kick the alcohol. Those two things
(I guess),<br>
plus generally poor outlook and a Portland winter, led to a
big bout of<br>
depression, which I am being treated for. Meanwhile, life
without a gall<br>
bladder is not the cake walk they promised. I continue to
have, um,<br>
episodes.<br>
<br>
This is not offered as an excuse. I do not seek sympathy or
a free pass.<br>
I just thought telling my story would help folks understand.
I did not<br>
abuse people out of spite or malice.<br>
<br>
That being said, Circuit Abbey is still alive. I am in the
middle of<br>
raising funds to re-run products to fill orders, and shortly
with a<br>
little luck release some new stuff.<br>
<br>
To the people I have wronged: Please accept my apologies and
please be<br>
patient a little longer. I will get to you soon.<br>
Life is a funny thing. To quote Auntie, " But how the world
turns. One<br>
day, cock of the walk. Next, a feather duster". I am trying
to find the<br>
strength to rise above it and get back to having fun and
making modules.<br>
