I’m happy to report that my wife gave birth yesterday to a big healthy boy (9 lb 12 oz). We’re calling him Charley after his grandfather who died last June. Most of the posts for the next two weeks will be written by several guest authors. I suspect that you will enjoy the change of pace. On a similar note: For those of you trying to contact me the past few weeks, I apologize for being nonresponsive. Dennis Crouch
