It’s About Time!
Well, dear readers, the title says it all. It truly is about time – and not just the “about time you submitted another article, Sir Paul”! Time has certainly passed by rather quickly since I last put the finger to keyboard here.

It looked like hell, or at least as if it had somehow survived a trip to Hades and back. Not being able…
