…I’ll be out of the country for a bit.

Wolf will be with me, and we expect to be out of “Internet range”, as it were. It is possible that Chuck, who will be involved in what we’re up to but still in the U.S. may be able to post, but that all depends upon how occupied we keep him taking care of his end of things here.

I’ll post again as soon as I return.

Friends…

I am in the thick of an situation that has me spending a great deal of time outside the country, and am in fact only on U.S. (Yay, America!) soil this time until this evening. Just now, I’m in the midst of running about trying to get some things tied up, as I probably won’t likely be back in N.Y. or back in the Blogosphere for awhile (hopefully, not for too long, it’s already been more than long enough!).

So, I’m taking this opportunity to introduce an old and close friend named Wolf, who is on the same page with yours truly where politics, morality, patriotism, American sensibilities and common sense are concerned.

Wolf served his country faithfully and well for over three decades before retiring, though he will undoubtedly make it quite plain that he is not at liberty to discuss much about it. He doesn’t tell me all that much, either, so don’t feel rejected.

At any rate, he will occasionally, time permitting (he’s not much of a computer type, but has promised to help out here), fill in for me here at Hard Astarboard, posting some of his own well conceived opinions and observations.

While he has the keys to the blog, we haven’t been able to figure out how to give him a by-line (you know, “posted by Wolf…”), so he’ll be doing whatever he does under the “posted by Seth” byline. He will, I’m sure, let you know that it’s him that’s posting.

That said, I want you to know that I miss all my readers, fellow bloggers and blogging itself, and look forward to returning here once again, and will do so ASAP, and not a moment beyond.

I’m dreadfully sorry about my lengthy absence over the last couple of weeks — I would have liked to post several times, but I’ve been quagmired in logistical/preparation/staffing issues for a rather complex offshore project, and coupled with searching for some permanent “digs” here in Manhattan, my time and my mind have been focused on the above.

In a few minutes, I’ll be headed for the airport and thence out of the country for several days, and where I’ll be for the most part there will not likely be Internet access.

Once I’ve returned, I expect that I’ll be able to insert myself into a more regular posting mode (I love blogging, and when circumstances keep me from it, I am not a happy camper).

I thank you, friends, for your indulgence in this and look forward collossally to getting the current work project completed and posting again.
