There's a chance it will be a long time before I return again. What use to be a life of part-time work and part-time puttering and writing and being leisurely has blossomed into...two part-time jobs and very little leisure time. I still do the office job and now I have added a free lance job to my life. I am working as an associate with my drum teacher.
