Technical Difficulties

I'm Sorry. To all of the strong silent types out there (and I imagine there are at least a thousand of you) who have been following my story, but not leaving comments, I am truly sorry for my absence over the past week. It has not been my fault. My computer died, or perhaps it was just a nervous breakdown as it's now back with me and doing fine, so I have not had the ability to add to my story or even tell my devoted readers what's been happening. I hope you forgive me and continue to read the story. Now that I have my 'puter back I will be updating today and from now on daily, as promised.
