Due to technical difficulties no introductory text is available this morning. So I'll take this opportunity to say hello to all who visit here in search of reading material and community. Hello! I'm glad you use the lists. Hello also to all those who come to see "how they're doing" in the race to the top of ... something. Hi! I didn't initially write the lists for you, but I'm glad to see you too. Finally hello to all those who've found the comment section a friendly spot for a morning stop. Maintaining community is too important to leave to cerebral discussions of policy and political strategy, it seems.
A brief personal update: I'm scheduled for a second carpal tunnel release surgery in October. I've got speech recognition software in place, and will try to get better at using it. Programming and any long writing sessions are out of the question for a long time.
As frustrating and inconvenient as this is, I have to realize that I'm dealing with a pretty minor problem in the larger scheme of things.
Feel free to talk amongst yourselves.
