I would have never figured you for a french horn player. Definitely a trumpet, or God forbid, maybe one of the chiller trombones. The horns are like the wrong kind of a special breed.
Just wanted to point out that showing your ass (figuratively) is not something to apologize for. In fact, it should be lauded.
Seriously, though, the long absence was worrisome seeing how difficult the process was. Glad you're here and doing OK.
