Helllooooo, anybody here?

Despite the absence of posts for almost two weeks, I’m still here. However, as Masters Comps Exams are fast approaching, my posts and responses to comments directed at posts are in a temporary “holding pattern.” I’ll try to get something up soon, but I’m not going to be able to get back to the full swing of things until after October 20. Rest assured however, the most recent comments have me thinking… and I’m looking forward to the chance at replying to some very thought-invoking comments.
