aaaaaaaand.... We're Back!

It's been a very long month or so. Family matters of various sorts have kept me running around through most of the Eastern Seaboard for the last several weeks. Fortunately, things have finally started to settle down.

Over the next few days, I'll start catching up on various things that I've had on hold here. I'll be posting regularly, and my posting frequency should get a real boost in another week or so, as the kids head back to school.

I see Janet has a post series going on family + academic career. (Part 1; Part 2). I've written a bit on my own experience at the old blog (and I do mean "a bit;" it's much more of a Cliff notes version of events than Janet's), so I'm re-posting it here for another view from the trenches, so to…

Hurray! Congrats on the move and welcome back :-)

About damned time! (Welcome back, Mike!)
