Those pesky full-time jobs certainly get in the way of our creative pursuits sometimes (but, alas, they also pay the bills.) Take the time and take your time. We'll hold your seat...no worries. Take care!

Hey Mark, I've had to go through this pullback a number of times. YOu are a great writer and whether you commit to a regular schedule here or just gather up your work for some kind of one-off book/post/comeback is entirely your choice. Good luck. (PS: We will miss you.)

Enjoy the time away, Mark. I'm on a mini-hiatus of my own and it's been rejuvenating.

Sometimes these decisions are the best to channel energies into what needs done, even as we plan for the future. May your ideas, projects and detour (much needed) bring fruition.

yep - sometimes the weekly rhythm is too much, and other things have to take priority.

Enjoy the break. I'm planning a change in March once I hit my 200th issue ... twice a week just isn't sustainable with everything else going on. Looking forward to when you do post - absence, of course, makes it all the more fonder! Best wishes!
