If I&#8217;m lucky, I&#8217;ll be able to spend some <i>much needed<\/i> hours away from the blog in the bargain, though not immediately and certainly not indefinitedly. So, with much still on the plate, I&#8217;m still right here, and have much more to come (even today, on a number of important items, if I can catch up, with a TV taping scheduled for mid-afternoon to keep me further behind-schedule). But I just wanted to offer a quick status report, and explain why I&#8217;ve been a <i>bit<\/i> slower than I&#8217;d like in keeping up with <i>a lot<\/i> that continues to roll over the last several days in a number of places (AK, MN, and GA, to name just a few of them).<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, you haven&#8217;t much noticed. But either way, as mentioned, thanks again for your patience and understanding, <i>and for your support over so many months and years<\/i>.
