Still Here (and that wasn't a given)

OK, so for years I've abandoned this blog, and lapsed into a non-participatory, scan-and-keep-tabs relationship with net socializing and the indie/theory RPG community. My personal RPG development has been stalled, but RPG play has been pretty good, if limited. Life's been OK - consulting was good for a stretch there, lousy for a while, and REALLY lousy of late, but Jenny and I have managed to have fun along the way.

Then last Wednesday night (04/22/09), I had a heart attack.

There are details and complications - doctors aren't perfect - but the bottom line is I'm now home, recovering well and a have a mostly-excellent but not-yet-solidified prognosis. The doctors remain a bit surprised - my risk factors, while not non-existent. weren't all that high - but the fact remains that it happened, I'm now recovering, and my life now includes "heart attack survivor" as a descriptor.

And it's just not acceptable to me anymore to not participate with some of the great folks I've met at the Gaming Outpost, the Forge and beyond over the years. I still have no clue how to make the current environment work for me, but I'm gonna dive in and try. Maybe not quickly - I'm told, and accept, that nothing happens quickly in the weeks after an MI - but I gotta make it happen.
