My apologies for the dearth of updates this month -- discounting silly Orc carols, of course. The new layout proposals we're currently considering are requiring some restructuring (and plumping and pruning) of the book's text, so I've been researching my collection of archival materials this past week or so. We're trying to light a little more humanity in our darker analytical corners... and so far I'm extremely happy with the results.
I've have, however, totally fallen off the wagon in my attempt to kick my caffeine addiction. I wasn't trying to quit for any particular reason, so I'm weathering my person weakness fairly well, thanks.
I hope to have some more significant updates prepared before the holidays land... and with any luck, the brains behind The Hobbit should have something for us to consider tomorrow. See you then.
