Brief Pause

I’m going to have to take a pause on this for this week–my internet situation is tenuous, at the moment (hardware/connectivity issues, nothing serious).  With luck, I’ll be back to the regular schedule with the next post–even if I have … Continue reading

A Quick WTH?

This week (and, in fact, probably the rest of the year) is going to be a short one. I hope to expand it into a quasi-regular offering, which I’ll tentatively call “Conspiracy Corner.” An acquaintance of my wife’s recently expressed … Continue reading
