Effective immediately, this blog is going on indefinite hiatus. Although there are still stories left to be shared, it has become overwhelming clear they would only receive deafening silence in response. It is increasingly obvious that the premises upon which this blog was built have not, and will never, be realized. Therefore, in coordination with the overall re-evaluation of my life and priorities already in progress, the time and effort being expended in this blog will now be re-directed to activities and interests worthy of my attention. Thank you and goodbye.
