My absence here has been noted, so I wanted to pop in for a moment and assure everyone that I am fine. The day job is very busy, family life is busy, and I needed some time off something in order to ease the passage of the day, so I am taking some time off here.

Meanwhile, I’m getting some more reading done, and I’m trying to help out more around the house. I catch the occasionally ballgame now and then.

No doubt I will be back, once I have given myself a suitable break. I just wanted everyone to know why you haven’t seen me here in a while.
