Brief Hiatus...

...caused by the birth of my adorable son, Elliot, on July 24th; normal service will resume when I recover from paternal post-partum euphoria. (I'm working on a post for next week.)

Meanwhile, a book recommendation for the sleep-deprived: Death and the Penguin, by Andrey Kurkov. Funny, pithy, suspenseful, with an average chapter length of three pages, it's perfect for the short attention span.
