My Apologies

Folks- I am so sorry I've been absent the past few days and likely to be absent for most of a few more. Work is nightmarish and that's not the only thing on my plate right now. But I know I owe responses to comments for too long, and emails, and I promise to get to it.

But please, feel free to post some comments of things on your own and commence your own discussions. I'll pop in as I can and - hopefully- by the weekend, you'll see me far more active.
