He's Back...

Well, dear readers (if i actually have any), i decided after an extended break that it was high time for me to pick up my....er...keyboard and fill you in, once again, on the daily goings on of a British research scientist humbly trying to survive in deepest darkest South Carolina (okay, Charleston) without losing my sanity. Or at least the little bit of sanity that i claim to have left. Suffice to say, it's been a rather strange few months without the outlet of regular posts on here. At times, i've found myself with entirely too much time on my hands, yet at other moments, i've been glad not to have this taking up precious moments required for sleep and other such necessary activies (like Christmas parties). Still, i've currently got a handle on things all work and life related (famous last words, i'm sure) and fully intend to try and update this at least once a week. Maybe twice, if you're lucky. I'm sure there is going to be a wealth of material to discuss in the coming months, what with the craziness of election year already well underway (complete with the accompanying apathy) as well as the general wackiness of the Southern folk to contend with. And a trip to Italy come the end of February as well to keep me (and hopefully you, dear reader) entertained.

For now, the shackles are off, the electricity is running and there seems to be life in this (relatively) old dog yet. It's good to be back!
