My slight jab yesterday aside, all of us here at EFM are delighted that Dawn Meling has been able to resume contributing to the blog. Dawn's posting has been rather light for the past few months on account of her professional life and some other stuff, but things are calmer now, and she intends to be a regular presence here. It was a pretty bad move on the part of EFM's editor not to inform our readers of this, and if you see the jerk, feel free to toss a rock at him. Oh, wait...

Also, as you may have noticed, we haven't heard much from the estimable Nancy French lately. Nancy, as we may or may not say repeatedly in order to boost her book sales, is an author, and she is hard at work on a new writing project. That, combined with raising two of the most adorable children on the planet--and trying to keep David in line--is keeping her rather busy, so we'll be working furiously to take up the slack until she has a little more time on her hands.
