Signs of Life

This is my first post in quite some time, but it’s not content.  That will come later this evening or tomorrow.  This is, however, my notice to all readers that the blog is still alive.  I’ve changed the theme (I grew slowly less fond of the old one) and I’m in the process of “moving in” to the new theme.  There are several things I’m working on related to that, but send me an email if you notice anything.

So why the long absences?  Sure, I’ve been busy, but that’s not why I haven’t been posting.  It’s not that I haven’t had any time.  But somehow there’s a limit to how much I can write in a day, how much new material I can create.  School is very demanding of my creative abilities, so my creativity has usually dried up by the evening.  I’m on spring break now, so we’ll see how things go.
