For the past several months I've devoted an hour or more a day to this blog. However this is about to change.
I've been able to devote this time just about every day because I have been rendered idle by a bad back and neck. (50 has been a shipwreck.) Consequently I have been unable to engage in the active activist life which is my wont and custom. As a result, I moved the computer and gear onto the floor (much to the chagrin of the two soulmates and comrades--girlfriend and dog--with whom I have shared my convalescence) and have lain here a-reading and a-posting. However, I'm feeling much better these days and as far as I can tell I've made a full recovery. In fact, I recently played a game of full-court basketball, the first in a very, very long time. (Don't tell my PT.)
With life thankfully returning to normal I will spend much less time here. There will probably no benefit to visiting more than once a week.
I want to thank all of you! The emails I've received have been almost exclusively appreciative.
And I have no idea why this blog is so popular in Romania or Malaysia, but I'm glad it is. Thanks again.
