Long delayed update...

Hello all:

So, this blog as lain dormant for quite some time -- and yet it has still gotten quite a bit of traffic and comments.

My plan to leave my career and become a teacher, like all great plans, was not successful. Changes in the economy, my personal life, and a change in jobs have -- at least for now -- put off any such move.

I will continue to leave the blog up as I think some people have still found it useful as a point of reference.

Thanks to everyone who commented and read.
