It's been a long and funky hiatus month for me. And I've been slower than expected in returning to the blog. But I'll be oozing back into the habit this week, hoping some of you are still with me.

You'll notice the new layout (thanks to an upgrade from Doug McLennan). And you might see an ad or two appear in the sidebar.

But I hope you also find some new ideas in the mix. Stay tuned.
