I mentioned previously that I'd been abroad for a week at a family wedding, which kept me from posting at anywhere near the consistency a good blogger maintains.

But then I followed that up with a couple of weeks fairly addled by depression, which has seriously frayed my work schedule, including output for both my blogs.

I seem better this morning, for the first time, but now I'm heading out in the morning for a week out West, so the site will again go quiet, except for whatever I can produce today.

I'll be aboard a houseboat on Lake Powell with two dozen family members, most of whom I have never met. Both locale and circumstance suggest potential for further mood alteration, which I'll report on when I return. Or not.
