A selection of bullet points, in which the discerning reader may infer the circumstances of my absence from this site:
- I’ve spent rather two much of the last several weeks sick: not actually sick enough to do something about, in this benighted land, but sick enough in a couple of cases to inconvenience me greatly.
- My talents of procrastination are such that, even in a semester with less than twenty students all told, I’m mournfully behind on my grading duties.
- Also behind on: reviewing papers for journals, reviewing papers for Mathematical Reviews, revising accepted papers for publication, revising rejected papers for resubmission, writing new papers for submission, reviewing the literature for a major ongoing project, preparing my next semester’s courses, making travel plans for the upcoming winter break. Note that this is almost certainly a partial list.
I’m still more or less alive, though, and the major circumstances of my life remain unchanged. So there you go.
I intend to start posting more often, since writing in my various blog spaces gives me the illusion that I’m talking to people. We’ll see how this particular resolution goes.
