I took a month off from blogging. Yes, I know that this is a cardinal sin in digital media terms. However, I had extenuating circumstances.

This winter has been brutal for many of us in the US. I also developed some new chronic health problems. And, sadly, my mom passed away last month. She was a very strong but loving and kind person who I miss very much and will never forget.

I am going to try my hand at posting shorter commentaries. Therefore, I hope I will be more regular in my dispatches. Let us all hope for more good news this year.
