Three cheers for sentence structure and orderly punctuation, our editor is back! The words and sentences should stop looking like an untrained mob and start to once again resemble a well disciplined platoon of Marines marching up and down the parade deck.
Our editor chose to wait out the plague in the warm climes of Spain. While we fought the bitter winter weather he luxuriated in a warm condo on the Med polishing his lifetime's worth of achievement awards and wise investment choices. Well deserved luxury in my mind.
However that didn't remove him from the problems of plague, it just adjusted the temperature and allowed him to sell his snow blower. The plague still caused his occasional absences and he is a volunteer after all, regardless we're happy to have him back and so is the story.
