Sorry about the downtime!

To faithful blogees (several of whom emailed me): Unfortunately the blog was "frozen" by the operator temporarily due to technical issues, which have obviously been resolved. As my long-time office administrator constantly reminds me, we are maybe a little too dependent on all the technology in our lives, which is great until it stops working! In any event, my apologies for the downtime and looks like we are back, so keep checking in!
