Also, apologies for my lack of blogging

I blame it on a mix of housework, library runs, reading, and a general blogging fatigue. Another point of interest is that I've done some cleaning up of the blogrolls and removed largely inactive blogs. Some of them hadn't been updated for a month or more, but I'm still subscribed to them in Google Reader, so if they show signs of life, I'll re-add them. I may wait until they get a bit more active, however. Hate to re-add one, then have it go dead again.
