The silent half of the Vagabond Literati

Time and the way we describe it are funny things.  It was "only" three months ago that we were so rudely crowded out of our beloved B&N and started this blog; yet it was three "whole" months ago that I actually contributed to it.  I didn't intend to become the silent partner but I'm back now and reading with a vengeance, and I'll summarize for you the sequence of events that have been occupying these three "mere" months!
