281/365 Fall is here

Fabulous! I have been away for some time and really missing what this once was. I don't mean to be negative, only feeling nostalgic for the community we had. Trying to force myself to get active here again. I think the world of all of your work. And though I do not really know you, I trust you. So, if you would be so kind, please give me your take on the state of affairs here of late. Is it working for you?
