My Hiatus Finally at an End

To any readers who were here by the end of last year and who are still around:

First off, thank you for hanging around! Secondly, I sincerely apologize for my extreme, 7-month hiatus from posting anything new. In December, 2010 I unexpectedly had to admit myself to the local emergency room for a surgery and a two week stay at the hospital. I had no sooner gotten done recovering when someone very dear to me in my family passed on in late January. These two major events and many less-major ones collaborated to remove my focus from the blog, which would have been okay, except that my focus remained away for far too long.

At any rate, the hiatus is at an end as I am posting the first new article in the past 7 months shortly after I post this one and, I rejoin all of you with a renewed vigor to deliver on the purpose of this website, which is to follow interesting cases, concepts and developments in select areas of law. I am hoping to usher in a dramatic increase in the frequency of stories to levels far above what they were before the hiatus, and I am also hoping that, as time goes on, readership continues to grow and we start to see some community activity by way of suggestions, comments and questions.

Thank you,

Justin
