a final word on the matter....

It seems that a lot of people were upset, or prepared to be upset with me,
when I returned here from Louisiana...I had seemingly abandoned my PhD program in the pursuit of a woman. No doubt, now they will feel justified, in that that relationship failed, and so miserably, at that. As is true for all of us, though, I alone pay for my mistakes, and they are therefore necessarily mine to make. Regrets? Not a one; I did what my heart told me. Through the tapestry of my life run many such threads, and all threads have a beginning, and an end, and so be it.

Cry For Love
