No Blog This Week Due to Conflicting Obligations

A conjunction of obligations and disasters -- the deadline schedule of the monthly newsletter I write, edit and publish for the housing complex in which I live; the death of my computer's printer, which radically complicates and thereby at least quadruples production time of the newsletter; plus a friend's need for emergency assistance with a project that must be completed by the end of this month -- has denied me the opportunity to blog this week. In addition to the friend's emergency, which is imposed by the sudden illness of a colleague upon which his project was dependent, there's also the preparation required for the quarterly inspection of my premises next week. In other words, I am hopelessly jammed up, and the resultant demands on my time and energy will shut down OAN for at least two weeks and probably for the remainder of the month. My apologies to all, and my best wishes to all for a joyful holiday season.
