Putting the Gauntlet Back On: Return From Hiatus

Nevertheless, this apparently impromptu summer hiatus had to come to an end at some point, and this is as good a time as any.
Sure, page views still slowly accumulated during my absence, and I expect past political, musical, artistic, and other posts, gave new and returning visitors some content to look at while I slacked off, but it's time to roll up sleeves and to "get to it".

Therefore, I'd like to treat this return from "vacation" in some ways as a reboot of sorts.
At least in my mind at least.
So, welcome back to the Gauntlet of Balthazar. Stay tuned and enjoy our upcoming directions, and as always, till next time.
