While my normal mode of operation is to bounce happily between a dozen different activities, there&rsquo;s a time for consolidation, and I&rsquo;d like to concentrate on research for a while. It&rsquo;s been madcap travel ever since the book came out, which is finally done with, and I look forward to getting back into the groove of solving equations and writing papers.<\/p><p>My hiatus plans aren&rsquo;t very firm: not sure whether it will be a month or a year. It won&rsquo;t be permanent, that&rsquo;s for sure. And I doubt it will even be very doctrinaire; if the mood strikes me, I won&rsquo;t be reluctant to fire up the old laptop and post something on my beloved <em>Cosmic Variance<\/em>.<\/p><p>In the meantime, the rest of the crew (not to mention you commenters) will keep the fires burning here at the blog. Maybe I&rsquo;ll even leave a comment or two if one of those jokers says something totally outrageous. Probably most people won&rsquo;t even notice I&rsquo;m gone.
