No, I'm not dead. I haven't joined up (though Pentagon standards may be low enough for me to do so). I've just taken an unexpected vacation from writing.
To some degree, my absence from blogging was necessary. I had some big writing projects in my new job that consumed my time. I couldn't justify writing anything else until these were done.
However, I can't blame work completely. I had a bad case of blogging fatigue, which happens when you worry that your effort is largely wasted.
Anyway, I'll try to get back on a regular schedule of posts. I hope someone is still reading.
Good to have you back

I'm still reading!

I know those sentiments all too well.
In any event, it is very good to have you back on line!

I read you from Japan because you bring a higher sense of wisdom to the issues you write about. I appreciate your being available as a reliable source. Thank you.

This is one of my most favorite blogs. I missed your posts this last month. Please keep it up!

I'm reading too, through the magic of RSS.

Still here too. RSS makes it painless to read blogs with erratic posting patterns. :)
