Dear friends,

As many of you have noticed, the blog had an outage yesterday.  Though I am not sure what happened, one of our IT specialists found the location of the problem and fixed it.  I am not sure whether this fix is permanent or temporary (I just woke up to a short email from him, we did not have the time to discuss this yet), but at least from Florida the blog loads fine as of now (0945 local time).

I apologize for that problem and I ask for your patience if over the next couple of days we have more hiccups or delays.  As always, should something serious happen, I would use the old blog at http://vineyardsaker.blogspot.com/ to communicate with you.

Kind regards,

The Saker
