Um… Is This Thing On?
Remember me? I used to write stuff here, and periodically even had something to say. Alas, in the last few weeks I’ve been transformed into a committee drone, and have been mucking about in a paperwork swamp. Really. If paper could ooze, I’d be covered in it up to my elbows.
In short, once again—and I recognize that this is getting a bit tiresome and repetitive—apologies for the absence. I’ll be back soon. Promise.
