It's my pleasure to tell you today that the state of this blog has never been stronger. Our borders are secure, the blogroll is fairly up to date, freedom of expression is guaranteed, and a smattering of loyal visitors and the occasional wayfarer stop by to chime in on topics from time to time.
The state of the blogger, however, is not so good. He is harried under the crush of workday deadlines and petty crises. Which means, it's hiatus time. Just as the groundhog prepares to make his annual above-ground debut to discern the seasons for us, this blogger prepares to burrow deep into the realm of real life, which means less time spewing forth here.
How long will this hiatus last? Through six more weeks of this mild winter? Doubtful. Six more days? More likely. A few days, even likelier. We'll see how it goes.
Till then, rest assured that bloggedy blog remains strong.
