Stilly,

Going up some stairs made for ordinary humans while staying with a city friend for a change on the way to deliver your goods, I fell and managed to throw out my back and it took awhile for some of us to find just where it got thrown and which container it got thrown into, but my back is back and better, so I am back on my way. I tried to reach you sooner, but the Cat was suffering from Down Syndrome again, and whatever, I will be late but am on my way back to Sycamore Creek. Please be patient.

That'll teach me not to get too big for my bridges.
