I said "I shall return", and I did.

I have been away, no doubt. I have had to travel and work throughout Europe and Far East. The most important thing I realize is that my priorities have changed. I no longer think the Russian Bear and Vladimir Putin are such an evil entities. I think Putin is cool, and the smartest political leader that has ever been on the world scene, and maybe the best Russian leader. I have built up more of data for this database, and will have to decide which of that data deserves to be posted here.
