I'm back from Albuquerque, and mostly de-lagged. Thanks for still reading through two-travel-related gaps in posting.

While I was gone, I posted three dozen times or so on another blog, not operated by me, and I got more than a dozen comments from readers. It made me realize that a) I used to get comments on my other blog, and b) I have never gotten one on this one.

Please tell me: Have you ever tried to leave one here? You can leave a comment in the comments, though if you can't for some reason, you can e-mail me.
