This may seem to initially have zero relevance.
bear with me.

My Cat.
Cat-O the talking marvel..who keeps great company ...who thinks he is a human...
Cat-O the magnificent hunter of rats as big as himself..
Cat-O the best friend of Eddie the 3 legged 1 eyed rescue pup...


went missing 4 days ago...

I have been absolutely miserable...
Eddie too.
Preparing for milk carton advertising..
Planning the service..
preparing the eulogy ..

Then...as I was locking the door heading off to work tonight...
From down the valley I hear a distant call...
I called his name ...
and sure enough it was him..
he kept running home calling all the way...

missed him pretty bad..
And I was so ticked off at his absence..
the silence ..
I really told him what for ...

So the point of all this is...

I realized a couple minutes ago that ...
the absence of communication from the neo team for the last lengthy bit here..had pretty much the same effect on me.
And gave quite a piece of my mind concerning the absence...

All being said and done...
I am quite happy that there is again ..running dialogue from the team here.
Whether it be good news, bad news, updates or just info...the impact of communication is huge...
it allays concern and worry...big time.
even if it is just a blurb that took a minute to write...

I am glad there is comm. going on here again.


(and of course glad Cat-O is back...he won't stop talking ...missed our conversation there too.. )
