Commentary: August & now September have been rough for Project BLACK MAMBA. Weddings on back-to-back weekends, a two-day retreat the following weekend, interweb outages, numerous mostly parochial commitments; The Secret Base as a whole has been neglected, & BLACK MAMBA along with it. I have no flux capacitor-equipped DeLorean, so there's nothing to be done but move forward & try to do better, to emulate the perseverance of the saints, as it were.
