Heya folks, 

JL, here. A reader reached out and asked where I've been recently. So, I figured I owed you all an explanation for those who are concerned. The reason I haven't been replying to comments or interacting wtih you all that much recently is that my dad passed away a couple of months ago, and I've just been dealing with that. Don't worry; I'm as fine as I can be, and I'm sure I'll start popping up again come time. Till then, my wish is that this story can continue to be a small 10-15 minute break from the stresses of life for you all every day.
