I've been on a long hiatus from this blog -- starting a new gig, being a dad, training for a marathon have eaten up lots of my time. A hiatus isn't always a bad thing, there are some ideas that I've been kicking around in my head that I'll write about, and I feel energized to start writing again.

I'm reminded of one of Johnny Carson's great Karnak bits:
The answer is: "Hiatus."
(Rips envelope open)
And the question is: "What do you say when you meet an atus?"
Welcome back.
Hilarious, I laughed out loud when I read this. Thanks for your comment, and for reading, Scott.
Glad to have you back Agricola. I took a hiatus myself from reading this so I am glad we never skipped a beat. How did the marathon go?
Matt, thanks for reading.
The marathon is next Sunday, 5/25 . . .
