A few hours ago, Evangeline Chipman - my last surviving grandparent and one of the strongest best people I'll ever know - passed away after having been in ill health for some time.
I'm not interested in getting into any more details than that. I share only because - while it's my intention to not interupt the workflow of my sites and projects (if anything, I really need the focusing-effect of work-to-be-done right now) - I can't say what sort of things arrangements and obligations will do to my schedules and output. So, if this blog or other venues seem to be either less active or less "upbeat" than usual, I ask your patience and understanding as to why that probably is.
This is going to be a very difficult period for me and for my family, and your support and understanding is deeply appreciated.

You seem to be going through a rough patch lately (understatement, perhaps?), so I completely understand if you need some time. I'm a big fan of your work and want to let you know that there are a great many people on the net that share my appreciation. I'm sure we can all survive if the blog activity slows down for a while. No pressure.
