Please allow me to (re-)introduce myself. I'm a man of (little) wealth and (even less) taste

I apologise for my irregular posting schedule during the past two weeks. I have reached the age, sadly, where I know firsthand that irregularity is a very bad thing.

I have been preoccupied by the following things:

• Sleep.
• I was sick for a few days.
• Work.
• Did I mention sleep?¹

I will try to post blog items more frequently from now on.

¹ Really, I blame Daylight Savings Time for my overreliance on the snooze button for the last two weeks. Who wants to get out of bed when it's dark outside? I slap the snooze button so many times each morning that the alarm clock and I have already devised a safe word. There is that much slapping involved.
