Long time no post

It's been over a week since I posted anything--maybe the longest I've ever gone without posting since I started this blog. Well, I've been away, on a little vacation in the Berkshires in western Massachusetts. I could have posted (we took my wife's computer, and there's a very nice free(!) wi-fi connection at the motel where we've been staying), but I really haven't had much time--I've barely been able to keep up with my e-mail.

Tomorrow we return to New York, and I'll try to post something about the trip then.
