When you stopped faithfully posting some six months ago, I feared you&#8217;d been in a car accident or something. About a month into your absence, I told my editor that I was thinking of quitting because writing ChatteringMind just wasn&#8217;t as fun without you.

Pray, don&#8217;t tell me you drifted over to Slate or Salon!
