Unintentional hiatus

I haven’t blogged anything substantial here for a while, which I regret.

Energy has been limited, mostly because I’ve been sick.  One cold after another for the last few months, which has left me feeling totally wrung out.  I have a massive amount of enthusiasm for the projects I’m working on, but very little real focus and energy for getting them done, which is driving me crazy.

I do want to get back into blogging regularly here, and hopefully once I kick this damn cold, I’ll get a period of relative health and will have the energy to.
