Some of you may have noticed that I’ve reduced my participation in other blogs recently. There are a number of reasons for this, but one of the most significant is that I’ve been lucky enough to attract a ”following” of very intelligent individuals. You set the bar quite high in terms of reasoned and civil discourse, and inspire me to attempt to do the same. This year my job is keeping me busier than ever before. With my time more limited than ever before, I try to invest what little I have in those activities which provide the highest “rate of return.” My loyal group of friends/readers provide that in spades. Thanks, all.
