This blog was offline for a little over an hour just now and it had nothing to do with the computer problems I was having earlier in the day. Oddly enough, it also had nothing to do with any of the "why this blog is not available" explanations that you read on your screen if you came here during that time. The hosting company was just doing maintenance work on their servers.
Several people who wrote me during that period thought it was a joke; that I was going to "make it up to you" for not posting more yesterday by discontinuing this blog. Nope. You'll see how I'm going to try making it up to you if you come back here later.
