Sorry for the long time gone.

The Sometimes Confusing Witticisms and Perplexing Perspectives of the Legendary Coyote of Apache Lore.
So, for all my friends and watchers and such, yeah... been a while. Logged in today to find 447 submissions to go through... 112 journals... and plenty of extra stuff too. I'll get to grinding on it and see if I can catch up.
In answers to any curiosity kittens out there, my health is stable and has been for some time. Plenty needs fixin... but I'm still among the breathin population. So... why so long gone have I been? In a nutshell;
2 months ago the health of me mother (still going and closing on 98) started taking a turn south. Several doctor trips and many, many, many questions and tests reckoned out the gist of the troubles and they've been addressed as much as one can for such as we become at ages beyond our ability to ken.
As well as that, my neighbor-friend-co-worker-boss-all around good egg also began to have difficulties and required help quite often. Sadly that took a dour turn roughly 6 weeks ago when I got a panicked phone call asking to please take him to the ER. It turned out he was having a heart attack. Despite valiant efforts, the years and time and previous damages had taken their terrible toll. He passed away peacefully with family after being in the hospital for a little over a week. Since that time I have worked with his family to help with things down here because they still have another family member in the hospital up north (next state up) and none of them are spring chickens anymore either. Plus there were 3 dogs to be cared for daily... now down to two as the oldest dog has been taken to the family farm to live out her days. The two pups remain but will become my sister's newest additions to her family by the end of the 4th of July weekend.
Anyone that has had to deal with the aftermath of a relative/extended family member's passing knows just how much there is to doing clean up, inventory, paperwork, ect, ect, ect. So that has kept me very busy for quite some time... hence my lack of time here. Or anywhere, for that matter. Time will pass... things will return to whatever 'new order' this might be... and I'll be back.
Hugs to all of you and thanks for being long distance friends/mates/pals/acquaintances. In the immortal words of Kenny Loggins... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rmPckNvD3E
