AWOL

Apologies everyone. I've been AWOL the last couple weeks. Lots going on IRL: visiting my father, who's halfway through his 90th year, in NC; youngest son enrolling in college for his Freshman year; favorite aunt in hospice in another part of NC; and it goes on. Please don't feel neglected. Things will be settling down soon—after the dog days of August pass—and I shall return.

Thanks for your patience.
