Thanks @Josie2214, just taking a break due to the somewhat hectic nature of work. I'm hoping to post more regularly now again.

Understandable. Was just worried there for a second. :)

p.s. this line totally cracked me up:
"Normans, who in their own way were just more Vikings with better marketing."

xD

It was going to be "Normans, who in their own way were just more Vikings who had learned a few manners from living in France for half a century."

I'm glad you went with the Vikings with better marketing after all. :D It's just such a cherry on top. :D

Off topic - How are you lately, though? Thank you for your generous upvotes and saving my posts from the miserable 0.01 category, but I feel like I miss having my steemit buddy around. Do let me know if you need a gentle nudge to stay "on track" here. ;)

Thanks @Josie2214, just the usual distractions of work and life getting in the way. A little nudge now and again helps, thanks!!

You chose correctly.
