My Unexpected Hiatus

Several loyal readers have written to ask about Spacetropic. I've gone of-duty for a couple of days in the past, but not for such an extended period of time.

Rest assured that regular updates to the weblog will resume. Frankly, I had burned out for a short period of time, and I needed a break. Also several important events have been the focus of my attention - work, family, and a return to university, part-time. We took ownership of a rescue dog named Duke from a service, GRRAND, that handles golden retrievers. And most importantly, my lovely wife and I are four months into a very healthy and successful pregnancy. We each brought our daughters into this marriage - now we'll have one of our own, God willing.

So good news all around. And needless to say, there's plenty to be said about all of these fascinating experiences in the form of overblown, wordy blog posts! Not to mention the fact that we're ramping up to a November election with a mixed bag of national and international events and issues. Both readers that remain should stay tuned.
