A quick post to prove I'm not dead

Between a sick server and a sick family, this has not been a good month for blogging. The lasthome.net server had been ailing for some time, but things finally got to the point where it couldn't wait any longer. John moved everything from lunitari to leela after several days of borderline functionality, then it took a couple of days for me to make the DNS changes I needed, followed by a correction. Then the four of us have all been sick in various ways for at least the last three weeks. Oy. And I don't say that lightly. Gotta catch a train, but I thought I'd share an interesting C.S. Lewis quote I stumbled on from The King's eHighway:

The war creates no absolutely new situation: it simply aggravates the permanent human situation so that we can no longer ignore it. Human life has always been lived on the edge of a precipice. Human culture has always had to exist under the shadow of something infinitely more important than itself. If men had postponed the search for knowledge and beauty until they were secure, the search would never have begun. … We are mistaken when we compare war with 'normal life'. Life has never been normal. - C. S. Lewis
