I sincerely wish that I could have done anything but deal with the punch that real life threw me late Tuesday, but unfortunately it left me unable to write even this much until 1 a.m. ET. (And I wasn't even among the people most directly affected by it.) Expect more content sometime Wednesday evening, and accept my heartfelt apologies for not being able to provide you with anything today.

I think, if I could tell you, you would all understand. But thank you in advance for your patience.
