Just a quick update in the event that anybody is worried that I fell off the face of the earth. The reality is that I wish I had, it would probably be preferable to what I've been going through. I woke up the other day, only to find that I was in the midst of a full fledged case of the flu. I had no idea how totally and completely this would kick my butt. No time or energy to look at, or comment on blogs, to say nothing about doing an actual post. Someday, perhaps, just not anytime soon.
