I just want to announce that, after the open thread above, I'll be taking a break for about two weeks from the blog. In addition to teaching, coaching, and having an infant, we are in the process of trying to buy our first house, and I just don't have a lot of time for blogging at the current moment. I expect the schedule to clear up tremendously within a couple of weeks, but, until then, I need to concentrate on what I have going on at home. If there is any big news, I'll comment on that, but, until then, hopefully Jared and Nick can keep everyone posted on all the news.
I hate to do this in the middle of basketball season, but real life is always the first priority.
Thanks, and I look forward to returning as soon as possible.
