Pining for the Fjords

This here blog has not ceased to be,
appearances to the contrary not withstanding.

It is not elevating the asteraceae,
it is just resting.

Seriously.
The lack of activity this month is deplorable, and all my fault, as real life has made a forceful appearance.
Normally this sort of tapering off in activity is a blog death sentence, but I have not been short of material, just time.

Life has also been complicated by impending changes in layout, and the fact that I backed myself into a situation where I have assumed or been given Real Life Obligations that sharply limit my ability to pontificate on many of the issues I have the most interest in, less I violate confidence or place myself in acute conflicts of interest.

Still figuring out how to navigate those particular reefs.
