An aside.

Thanks to the wayward (yet generous) souls who have taken the time to lurk and/or comment in the last week or two. That I haven't been posting recently is not for lack of subject matter or thoughts thereon - as if. Rather, my daughter was born this week and between burping, wiping, rocking, and just adoring the new addition to the family, it's been harder to find the time to attend to basics, like eating and personal hygiene, let alone blogging.

But thanks again, and I'll see you on other people's blogs, at least until things get less hectic.
