Where did he go?

I got an e-mail Monday with the subject line "Notice from the Blog Police."

You have abandoned your blog and we will have to remove it if it isn't tenanted within 7 days.
Sincerely,
Chief Inspector of Blogs
Department of Homeland Blogs

It was a nice, gentle reminder in its own way. Thanks for the push.

Much on the mind of late, but not much to share — yet. You know I'm in the newspaper profession, and you've seen those headlines. So far the personal impact has been relatively minimal, but change seems inevitable. My absence has a little bit to do with that, and a little bit to do with other stuff.

Stay tuned. I'll start getting some thoughts together soon. Sorry for the unannounced hiatus.
