For any of you that might have been wondering about my absence over the last few weeks, let me assure everyone that it wasn't another round of medical/family emergencies. Nope, this time, it was all work and with me being the responsible one, well, let's just say I'm gonna have a couple hefty paychecks coming my way after all the double-shifting and/or split-shifting I've had to do lately.

Of course, this has kept me from working on any of my mapping projects as well as my writing projects. For that matter, it has kept me from visiting the forum to see what anyone else has been working on. But things seem to have settled down now, so I'm going to try to catch up on all the happenings here and, or so I hope, get back to work on a few of my own things, namely the Eurosivarae World Project. I'm also going to be re-visiting the Vallee Mystique Project as well with the intent of solving a few sloping and roughness problems that showed up in the "finished" product.

Anyhootie, I hope nobody missed me too much, and it feels good to be back. I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone's been working on and meeting the new folks that have joined the forum in my absence.
