Ridin’ Dirty

Should I address my absence or not even attempt to justify it? The latter seems much more enticing, especially since I am short on time [although not short on inspiration]. Perhaps we can skip over the formalities and I can introduce you to my new friend you’re about to see a lot of. No, not the…
