Sorry for scant posting lately

Hello friends and visitors. I apologize for not posting more often. Between starting a new job, the sudden death of a colleague here at the university, helping with WoW's launch, obsessing over the American elections and Blogger being particularly cantankerous lately I haven't done much posting. I promise to start up again soon with some post-election levity or gloom, depending on who ends up being elected.


Whatever happens on that score, I hope for a fair and unvarnished, decisive electoral process. The preservation of the integrity of our democracy is much more important than any one or any two candidates in any given run for office. The idea that the 2000 election was not an anomaly is very difficult to think about, but I do. A lot.
