I’m Taking a Week or Two Off

November 22, 2013

My father died this Tuesday. So I’m taking some time off to do not much of the usual things, like blogging. I’ll be around, answering comments and such; but just don’t want to have to focus too much. So I’m taking a break from things that require attention. Back in a little while, Evan. My [...]
