lazarus
apologies for downtime -- several days of contortive negotiation with my server's tech support & everything is, hopefully, back to normal.
sidenote: it turns out I left hawaii just in time to avoid (read: miss out on) a modest deployment of nature's disaster arsenal -- galeforce winds, earthquake, hurricane (although it appears, alas, to not have had an effect on the volcano). woeful timing -- I am inordinately fond of dark engulfing tropical thunderstorms, & hawaii, when I was there, remained obstinately clement.
