Summer hiatus

We thought we'd be able to keep it up through the off-season, but the Mite has taken a summer job with BP. He's their chief diver down in the Gulf, pretty much the guy in charge of capping the well, the vinegar, if you will, in the salad that is so far mostly oil. Which means that he won't have much time for Nostrum for a while.

With luck, we'll be back in the fall, and the Gulf will be as clear as—well, we're on vacation, so metaphors are just going to have to wait.
