Posting at the Duck has been thin of late. Some quick explanations:

I’m tied up by teaching responsibilities and the task of finishing my book manuscript. Patrick’s similarly swamped with his own responsibilities. Peter’s a new dad. Rodger’s probably thick into the Grawemeyer-award process. Peter’s a new father! Bill Petti is on long-term hiatus.

But, if past trends continue, the fact that I’ve posted this probably signals an imminent avalanche of content.
