I'd like to take this opportunity to give my apologies to those people I've held up with my relative absences these last few weeks. Redarmy, in the forum wide painting session, DoN for my article which still hasn't made it to him, people in the VAU for my sleeping Hugo who got capped because I didn't have the energy to post something more imaginative, and well...if I forgot someone....oops? 
I'm a military man, and work has been taking my time a lot more often lately. I've started Honor Guard training, which for those of you that aren't military savvy is the Ceremonial Unit within the military that performs all Ceremonies, Funerals, and presentations within the military community. Training for that has been brutal, and I'm halfway through now.
I've also started taking private lessons in the Jaanese Language, and that's taking several hours a week (Rosetta Stone for an hour a night, lessons once a week for two hours, study time intermittently).
I've also started taking College level Courses again. I've only got 14 credits until I get my CCAF degree, which is the equivalent of a Community College in the states. I need a Math Course, Speech, and Humanities then something to fill credits and I'm done with that, and then on to the real college courses as I go for my Bachelors degree.
In addition to all that, I've gotten more responsibility at work for X duties that weren't mine before, and I'm scheduled to enter training for X position that's going to take even more of my time come the Middle/End of May.
And, to top it all off, I'm on some very strong pain medications/muscle relaxers due to throwing my back out at the end of April. Mmmmm, Vicodin.
I've still got time at least twice a week to peruse and Moderate, but my contribution level is dropping, sadly. I'm still going to contribute as much as I can, and after Honor Guard training is over I should have a little more free time which I intend to dedicate to here. This place is far too awesome for me to abandon, and DoN and my fellow Mods have put too much effort to let me simply wander off. DoN has some interesting 'Punishments' for those that stray too far from the fold.
:bowdown: 
:O 
So, in a matter of a few weeks I'll be back on track.
My apologies, again for anyone I've left hanging! Poke me in messages or on MSN and I'll get back to work, I promise! :devil2:

I know RL can get in the way sometimes, though unfortunately I will have to follow the rules and give you another punishment in the dungeon :evil:
