I stopped writing this blog quite a while ago for a variety of reasons, most of which had to do with a lack of time, an abrupt change in lifestyle and working conditions and, frankly, running out of things about which to write.  Facebook also contributed to my blogless life, as it is much easier to post a ten-word status update than to formulate a coherent article.

Things have changed in our lives once again, however, and I find that I now not only have time in which to write, but things about which writing seems worthwhile. So off we go again, into the nether regions of my mind and life! I hope they help in some way!
