OK, so here is what happened to cause the site to be off-line for so long. It suffered a severe system crash while I was attempting to upgrade the Content Management System (CMS) that I use to create this blog.
The needed repair proved to be more extensive that I originally anticipated. Naturally, this happened in the midst of way too many projects-in-progress. Thus, I had to wait until I had the free time to fix what broke.
The bottom line is that the system now seems to be back to normal. In the not too distant future I hope to re-vamp the site to better serve your information needs. I maintain the site so that my friends (both met and un-met) can get information that they might not otherwise see.
I am Sorry for any inconvenience caused by the site being dark. If you missed it, click on Comments below and tell me about it. That is how I will decide whether it will be worth the effort to bring it back up next time.

Nice to have you back online. I missed it (as you could tell from my many, hopefully not too nagging, emails.)
