Considering that God, if there is one, has squared off almost all of my family like a cowboy shooting glass bottles, it is easy to say that I've been through hell and back and there ain't many left standing. That said, please excuse me if I take a year or several off somewhere far away from nowhere so that my mind and soul can not only heal, but so that I can figure out what to do and where to go next. I'm sorry if those who love me are worried sick about me. I seriously need time, space, patience, something to do, and a radical change of atmosphere to find myself. Forgive me but having no parents left has left me feeling totally like an orphan.
