Hello again, world

After a two-month hiatus from blogging, I am back behind the keyboard. Hello!

The break from blogging was much needed and refreshing. I'll readily admit that I enjoyed the silence of "the blogging voice" in the back of my head, the one that's always counting the number of posts I've produced in the last week or so. But an affliction like blogging, once acquired, cannot be shed easily. So, with a new term starting, new courses to be taught and new research to be produced, I am also coming back to new blog posts waiting to be written.

To anyone out there still reading, thanks for your patience while I was away.
