Back

A map of my life since I last posted? No--rather, via Matthew Yglesias, a "NOAA image showing the course of the past 100 years’ worth of hurricanes through the Gulf." Given that the central Gulf is well overdue even for a tropical depression to come ashore, let alone a hurricane, this will be an especially tense hurricane season.

I am just filled with happy thoughts.

Anyone around still?

I think I will be able to resume more-or-less regular blogging here, now that summer is here and I have decompressed enough from the spring to have room in my head for the occasional post here.

I won't dwell too much here on the past two months except to say that they were difficult: the combination of an increased teaching load and the Mrs.' continuing health issues left me distracted and drained. Her health is still very much a concern, but school, for the summer, won't be the time-suck away it was. I have one class to teach; it starts day after tomorrow. I'll get to ride my bike to work, something my teaching schedule this spring didn't permit me to do. I'll have time to rouse my scholarly work from its slumber. And there's that back-log of promised posts to get to.

So. It feels good to have the sense that I have a little time and energy to do this.

Onward.
