While on my unexpected hiatus, I was feeling decidedly down in the dumps. I had been watching the tennis, seeing all those wannabees and hopefuls all trying to do better than last year. I usually love tennis, but somehow, this year, my aching bones reminded me of my age and how many times I haven’t been working on the final edit of The Mystery of Folly’s End.

I have had plenty of time to think during this hiatus, and most of those thoughts weren’t good. A fair bit of “raging against the Dying of the Light,” and all that.

Ever the rebel, though, I will be breaking that old commandment. I thought I would rage with the best of them when the time came, but now I can practically see it from here, I’m not angry any more. I will toddle off gently, grateful to be signing off at last…

But Not Yet…    My favourite line from Gladiator…
