I, too, like the metaphor. And yes, I didn't really fall off the edge of the Earth! I've been living in Central America (Belize) for a bit over 2 months now, but only recently got my internet service by having a microwave antenna installed on the roof so I can go through Mexico to connect to an internet sattelite link...technology has arrived in the 3rd world! Of course, I'm still trying to catch up on everything which went down in the last 3 months, so I still have over 200 Black Sheep postings to take a quick look at.
