Disclosure

I only mention this because some of you have been asking.

The posts to my various blogs, including this one, have been, since spring, sporadic, down-beat, and sometimes mercurial.

I've been preoccupied with the sad fact that my marriage of 20 years is ending. This leaves me very melancholy, and disappointed. It also makes me distracted and not particularly attentive to pursuits such as blogging, instead, I've been immersing myself in my work.

Though I expect things to get worse before they get better, I am optimistic that they will get better, as will this blog.

Thanks for your inquiries and kind thoughts. They mean a great deal to me.

And that's the last I'll mention of it.

Please pardon this.

Mannie
