Did something similar to this happen within the last year and a half or so? I recall being really bummed that you were taking a break, and then coming back later to find sporadic postings, and somehow that all snowballed into the media-fest you've graced us with lately, kc. I wish you well on your non-blog endeavors, but retain the hope you won't give up on TIS altogether- this site is just too amazing to throw in the hat completely. 

Thanks again for everything over the last few years.
