Extended Break

In Gordon's own words*,

          " I’m busier than all get out and will be for the next month.
             The █████  is finally going to arrive this Friday,
              and I have to get things ready in the ██ . 
             
               Would you please put a note in the blog that
                the next  diary entry will be on January 8th."
​

So there it is.  With any luck, you are also extremely busy with intrusions in your life, and will have in your heart to return to Gordon Bartholomew Hoffman's blog with renewed vigor early in the new year.
