Okay, I guess the geography website posting has sufficiently bored people to tears, if not to a mild form of insanity. I won't go into the details of the past couple of weeks, but suffice it to say that I've been staring down magazine deadlines, pursuing new publishing opportunities in Asia, and the church where I attend, which usually has me speaking once every couple of months has somehow seen fit to schedule me for four services in a row! But hey, no excuses in blogland, right? I just wanted to say that I'm still around and hope to be back on the blog with gusto next week. Thanks for the comments and those who dropped in to say "hi". Of course, jayfromcleveland continues to be the spur to continue on with the Paternal Alliance (we shall stand strong, Sir Jay!). Anyway, that's about it for today. I've got to go put the finishing touches on Sunday night's sermon (the first of four).
