Things Returning to Normal
That huge rushing wind sound you’re hearing . . . me heaving a huge sigh of relief.
I believe that I have things back to just about normal around here. It is now officially safe to share links to the site again. (And please do so.)
So, what happened?

Strange Days at Geek Palaver
In case you haven’t noticed, things have been hinky around here lately.
