Apologies

Hey, everyone. I apologize for the lack of updates lately, but there has been a heap on my plate. Long story short, I was laid off from my job about a month ago: in blogspeak, this makes for short-term pain, long-term gain. I'm still at the gig until late July, see (which makes for welcome hoarding towards my existing nest-egg), plus I get a nice summer break. Oh, the quote-unquote 'gain': I plan on reading and writing a lot (mostly on a beach and/or alternate sunny setting) during August and September while I weigh my future, so will be adding content frequently then. Thanks for your patience, and, truth be told, I am pretty enthused about this turn of events. Not only do I get an actual vacation, but it's driving my ass back to school.
