It is with great regret that I’m suspending publication of further blog posts, at least temporarily, because of ill health. Two years ago I was diagnosed with stage 4 (metastatic) prostate cancer. Unfortunately, both the disease itself and some of the side effects from treatment have recently taken a turn for the worse, and I can no longer devote the necessary time to keeping up my blog.

However, the blog will remain accessible and you will be able to continue making comments on previous posts. I will endeavor to answer questions when I can.
