He'll be back ..

Really, I promise. But you're going to see a bit less of me around these parts for a month or so (not that I've been blogging my eyes out as it is). I have book chapters to finish, a Hartsville Today poll to get in the field, and three skills classes I'm teaching with loads of fun grading (image: think of a nest full of young chicks, LOTS of young chicks, and I'm the chief worm carrier).

I will stick my nose in occasionally, and lord knows I have a load of things backed up that I haven't been able to get to from others, so I may put a few of them on in the interim. But forgive me if I don't see you back here much till the end of the month.
