I'm back

As you doubtless can tell, I have been on a blogging hiatus for the last several months, during which time I have not even followed the scores and standings. You may also notice that the length of my hiatus corresponds with the length of a spring semester at your average American university. There is a definite cause-and-effect relation there; this semester has been unbelievably busy and hard for me. However, it's over, and I can once again resume a more "normal" level of posting. Enjoy.
