Getting the band back together

Well, not the whole band.  Just me, really.  It has been a strange summer with other things, uneventful and prosaic (like, having a job) occupying my mental space.   So, I'll try to get this back up now and see if anyone is still interested in reading.   It is a bit like starting over, of course.  So it goes.   We'll have a new post up shortly.
