Whither the Basstard?

Apologies to my literally tens of readers for the extended lull around here. I am briefly back in Chicago between two trips elsewhere, one of which will make excellent blog fodder as soon as I can find the time to write about it. I also agreed to remove an essay I'd posted on the way out of town last Friday, which had the unintended consequence of making the hiatus several days longer.

I am now scrambling to get out of town again, a prosaic, unblogworthy exercise that is also preventing me from blogging about anything else. I rarely travel this frequently and am quickly learning why.

Anyway, look for new content here by Opening Day.
