Well, in the off chance that I have even a SINGLE reader left after my untimely departure from the blogosphere (almost a month!), I wanted to inform you that I am indeed still alive and fully intend to start posting as often as possible!  Thanks for hanging in there despite the [!] that has probably been showing up in your aggregator for the past month. 

The site was down for a number of reasons; you can be sure when I find time to write my next post that the details will be included, especially the names of the internet service providers that have lost my business!
