Apologies to my readers. I've been absent from the blog for quite a while due to ill parental units, with emergencies being the rule rather than the exception. I'm right now going through and posting the backlog of your comments, as well as sorting through thousands of spam comments (why do people do that?), which wil take just a few days. It's my intention to post weekly, at the very least. So, thank you for reading - we're back on the blog!
