February 19, 2007 – 11:05 pm
I’ve been somewhat slack in posting recently, partly because I’ve been incredibly busy, partly because I’ve been spending a lot of time at various doctors’ offices recently (I’ll blog more on that soon, I hope), and partly because of the tacit rule of blogging that the longer between posts the more significant you think your [...]

First Thing to be a Non-Blog Blog, Now Blogs, Sort of
