Don't look now...

... but I'm coming back soon... lock the doors and hide the maidens....

Seriously, I'm almost through one of the most hellishly overwhelming periods of my life - having run three national searches for faculty and administrator for my school on top of my usually overwhelming load of teaching and directing a full production....

And, on top of it all, a major change in life - Mona and I have been trying to adopt for some time and several weeks ago we were informed of a match. We will be welcoming a nine-year old happy and precocious girl into our home this evening, and her younger brother will be following in some weeks (maybe a month or two).

So while I had to pull over to the side for awhile to handle all of this, I am returning soon.... I will be able to finally update the Society website and all registrations this weekend, and will finally get to the task of finishing the Domesday Book in May.

I have some changes in mind I will announce, primarily with a major change in the idea of the ezine and website (something I think is appropriate as Crusader has expanded and flourished). Still waiting on final approval of the tourney events from GenCon.

That's awesome news! Though if you think your free time is scarce now, adding two children to the mix won't help!

Congratulations, and hang in their. We'll keep the beer cold for you.
