Greetings!
Regular visitors to this page might have noticed our absence over the past few weeks. We apologize for the radio silence on our end, but our editor -- that's me, Tom Knapp -- was dealing with his father's entry into hospice care and the various needs that his father and mother needed during this difficult time. We intend to resume regular publication as of this week, with occasional breaks for holidays and vacations as usual. In the meantime, we would like to share this personal essay written by Tom on the loss of his father.
