Well, almost two weeks ago, I apparently injured my upper back and left arm. It wasn’t very apparent at first, but really started to bug me after I participated in a few games of Wii Sports bowling (not surprising, since other than the lack of the heavy ball, one moves in precisely the same way as real bowling). I think the source may have been my purchase and subsequent carrying of the complete Catholic Encyclopedia (16 volumes), which I got for under $30 at a book sale at Covenant’s library. It gradually got worse over the weekend before the last one and into last week, with the climax of pain somewhere between last Wednesday and Friday. Particularly since Wednesday or so, I’ve noticed typing irritated my upper arm and back, so I’ve been trying to spend my time on the reading I need to do with the plan of catching up on written — typed — things after a few more days. I think I’m slowly on the mend, finally. It hasn’t been that bad, and I’m not writing this to complain, but merely to note the cause of my continued absence.

In the mean time, I have a post or two in my head for here and an article or two for OFB, but those will have to wait. I’ll be back… (pun intended.)
