Excuses excuses

Well, between the holidays, out of town travel, a bout of the Captain Trips, and weather that's been too cold for normal life in this drafty old house, I haven't done anything here for a while.  That's not too unusual, I guess, since I tend to work pretty slowly churning out posts, but in this case I've worked zero for several weeks.  I'm getting back on it (although the house is still drafty, and it is still too cold for comfort), and should have a real post fairly soon.
