You’re probably wondering why it has been so long since my last column. The last one I posted was on December 29th.

Hello, can you hear me? Yes? Thank goodness. I’ve been trapped in the dark ages for the past few weeks. You ask, “How can that be, the dark ages were centuries ago.” Au contraire my friends.

I had quite the adventure this weekend. I was able to accomplish something very rare, get all my surviving brothers together in one place. For my next trick, I will turn lead into gold.
