A note to the inquiring

Hello dear readers. If you, by chance, are one of the few who graces Ask Ninny with your visual orbs on a semi-regular basis, you have, no doubt, noticed a certain lack of material lately. Yes, Mr. Ninny has been on sebatical. Deep in the bowls of a hellish journey that will be recounted on Ninny's counter-blog, Ninny Spot. Now he is, however, back. His return from this perilous journey has left Ninny a bit discombobulated and his usually glorious mental faculties are a bit unseemly. As a result there will be a (hopefully short) period where the ramblings and answerings of said Ninny will seem, for lack of a better term, rusty. Not to fret my friends, Ninny will, in time, return to his clearer self with a new wealth of knowledge and experience to impart to you. The most recent response here on Ask Ninny was a question raised by Ninny's alter ego's brother's alter ego, The Dude, in December of 2006. Half of the response was composed in December, however, the sebatical (which shall henceforth be known as "The Wombat Incident," or TWI for short, happened upon our hero rather quickly and unexpectedly, leaving the finishing of this response to sit idle for the six months, twiddling its proverbial conceptual thumbs and wondering when it will ever come to fruition, while Ninny helped the Wombats in their struggle.
It is with the utmost thanks to the Dude and other Ninny readers for their patience that he bids you a fond hello, and wishes to share his happiness at being home now in a new (dry) apartment with his dear friend's Charley and Frankus (and the beautiful-pussy-loving-Beta, Giuseppi).
