More than a month later...

I have been exceptionally busy trying to get the third chapter of my dissertation drafted in and around taking care of all of the stuff that a full-time teaching gig requires.  I have been making progress, but it has not been enough.  It never is, really.  And other things are slipping.

Even so, I do have to say that my life now is the best it has yet been.  Although I am very much feeling the stress of what I do and of the reckless pace of life in New York City--it is impossible to avoid cliche here--I am quite well off.  And I appreciate it.

So, just so y'all know I'm not dead or gone...just REALLY busy...
