I think I only caught the side and tail-end of whatever was going on around Sigs, and for that I'm grateful enough, though I did send a PM just to say all the best, etc, which has so far been ignored.
It all left a sour taste, though, and between that and one or two life-things away from the board, my spirits dropped quite a bit (as they are wont to do anyway). I was also busily wrestling with a novel. That seemed to have died on me as well so, as you can imagine, I was well pleased.
That all righted itself and I started feeling better. Then I came back to the boards and found out about Nate.
Now we never met and I didn't know him well even on here - we'd probably responded to each other's posts a couple of times and 'liked' a few more - but he always seemed like a good guy - which the outpouring of grief and remembrances from other members confirmed - and it's always a great shame to lose those (and it's always sad to lose a tet-mate no matter what).
Anyway, for whatever reason that all dunked my head back under for a while, which is why I was gone until a few days ago. At least I'm bobbing more or less right side up again, so it's good.
