Sorry for the lack of activity here, but health and professional issues have conspired over the past week to drain me of my will to 'blog. I'll be back in the saddle as soon as I'm feeling better on both counts.
Be seeing you.
UPDATE: Thanks to everyone who wished me a speedy recovery. The health problems I alluded to in my previous post have forced me to implement some rather severe lifestyle changes. Suffice it to say that there's a lot less drinking and a lot more exercising in my future. It's difficult, but the benefits are already apparent. The professional issues are going to take longer to resolve, but I'm working on it.
