note regarding 2009/2010
I took the year of 2009 off to work on a book … this then overflowed into 2010 by a few months. As a result, my output for the past 16 months is slim (but not nonexistent). The book, however, when it is released in the fall of 2010, will prove that I have not just been sitting around on my ass looking at the view.
