I am (and have been) off with my family celebrating a belated family Christmas. I was not planning on treating this as a work week, though I did come into this with the expectation that I’d be blogging semi-regularly during it and polishing and posting a few things I had previously written, but as is usual for these get togethers I overestimated the amount of quiet downtime I would have and—even moreso than usual in this case—the amount of internet connectivity I would have.

So, just letting you all know why I’ve gone completely quiet. I’ll be back in the saddle next week for a regular work week, allowing for Monday off to recover from the travails of travels. Everybody enjoy the weekend!
