Yes

Yes, I have been far away. Travelling for a long time. Though most of those adventures will only be published when I've digested them into a presentable form. That may take a while, indeed never happen. To satisfy your most urgent needs, I'll delve again in the ramarchives.

Been busy

Been busy and that will probably continue too, but to pick up old pieces, I'll be delving in the Ramarchives for a while.

Smell

My Uncle George knows his way around women. I've always envied him for that, but recently I'v had not many complaints myself. That's why I've been away for a few weeks - actually I'm pretty exhausted.
Anyway, Uncle George dropped by to enquire on my health (and toast to mine, on my whiskey, he sure knows when to show up). So I had a good look at his bright and shiny parts, and I must say, they're a bit smelley and look used.
No, Amanda can be quite happy that I've not told Uncle George about her.
