Sporadic Blogging in the Next Few Weeks

Hi folks. Just wanted to say that blogging's going to be a bit thin in the next few weeks. Got some family health issues I have to deal with. I don't know how long this will take to sort out, and don't know if I'll be able to do any blogging at all in the near future, though I'm going to try.

If I do manage to post, please bear with me if I don't respond to comments, or if a comment of yours gets hung up in moderation and I don't get to it right away. I'll do my best to check in at least once a day if I manage to post but I can't promise.

You'll see me when you see me!
