Alright, faithful readers of the Ink…I know that
you must have been waiting to see images of the boy and i. This is Derek, faithful coder of my site, and the reason I
may go crazy within the next fifty-something days or so until I get to see him again. He’s been a faithful poster in
my comments for awhile, generally as derek, or as bishma, and he has a comic online at Pathetisad although its temporarily stalled until Friday *we hope*

Today I got to see one of my very closest friends for the first time in almost a year. It made not being with Derek
today a little more bearable. At least this is a fairly short separation and not months or years…
