Dear friends,

I have just returned from an exhausting trip to Europe to visit my sick mother, only to come home and now see how my brother-in-law is dying. I have spend most of my time either in hospitals, in airplanes or trying to catch up on some much needed sleep (no success on this front: I have not had a restful night of sleep in 20 days or so).

Over the past two weeks many important things have been going on, but I simply need some time to get my bearings back before I can return to this blog.

I apologize for not updating this blog recently. God willing, I should be able to do this again before the end of the week. In the meantime, please forgive the interruption and stay tuned.

Kind regards,

The Saker
