i like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by

Thanks are in order to you few kind folks who check this space far more regularly than the frequency and content of posts warrants.

I owe a longsuffering editorial assistant a book chapter that I have been delaying for a few months now, and in our last conversation I think I assigned myself the somewhat soft deadline of "mid-February". Which I guess means sometime this week.

So I'm on that, and not this, until I'm done.

See you soon.
