Why is it ... ?

Short and to the point, I suffered a big set-back with my health in May, but I am finally getting the better of it. Because my health has to come first, I won't be able to spread myself around like I formerly have. I am down-sizing my role in the greater Sims community and from here forward concentrating my energies only on TSR - which is deliciously drama light, content heavy.
The Sims 2 is nearing the end of its production and release arc, but I won't let that dissuade me from riding it until the wheels fall off. I have plenty of ideas and plans, the sticky part is realising them. Look for new content for both The Sims (original) and The Sims 2 from me in the coming weeks.
I may very possibly become more productive than ever thanks to being sick... go figure 
Thank you to all the many fans and friends who have expressed concern and kept me in their prayers. Godless heathen that I am, I figure I am precisely the sort that needs prayer most.
Especial thanks to Thomas and the other great folks here in the TSR Family for allowing me this time away to mend. I am more grateful than you can know. *giant hug*

You forget that people have real lives outside the Sims, I?m sorry to hear yours has been such an awful start to your year, your health really is the most important, along with a little money to pay the bills and maybe then eat
. Things will improve we?ve all been there and will be there again, but fingers crossed we weather the storms ok and don?t have too many hissy fits and waving of the arms like the virtual in Sim land do.

I should do more often with blogs what they actually are made for - which is simply reading them. Just came around wondering why I didn't see any new stunning creations of yours. I didn't know you have to face such difficult times, so sorry for that. Hopefully the second half of 2008 hates you not this much as the first has seemed to do but will instead give you fabulous times (and weather) and that you will be soon enough feeling well again.

Good Bye BeOs you are truly missed for your wit, attention to detail and your incredible Artistry, that to me were some of the best creations made for the Sims 2. I know that in your retirement we have also lost marvine your partner in crime and creation. I hope you are well and wish you peace.
Take Care!
