The performance will continue after a brief intermission…

I’m going to be travelling for 2.5 weeks for some much-needed rest and recuperation. There are a few posts scheduled for the next few days and then I’m reposting some of my favourites from last year for a bit. If you’re hankering for your Not Exactly Rocket Science fix, now is as good a time as any to lose yourself in my archives.

A note about comments: as previously stated, the blog operates on a once-only moderation system. Your first comment needs moderation; if you have a previously approved comment, you’re fine. Expect delays in the approval conveyor while I’m away.
