Folks, I’ve got to drop the ExNotes blog a gear or two for a while. We’ve been busy for a good 8 years, and I need to roll off the throttle for a bit to get through a rough spot.
During the preceding 8 years, we published 1,786 blogs. These gathered 10,058 comments. Our blogs include 12,913 images (every one of which was Photoshop optimized prior to inclusion in the blog).
During that entire time, sciatica, neuropathy, and a bum leg have been kicking my butt. Things have gotten a lot worse in the last two or three years, the feel-good folks in white coats tell me I need back surgery, and that’s scheduled for late June. I’m getting a laminectomy and a foraminectomy on my L4 and L5 vertebrae (which basically means I’m getting bored and stroked), and incredibly, it’s going to be done on an outpatient basis (which is fine by me).
We’ll keep on publishing during my downtime, but it will be at a reduced frequency until I’m back to 100%. It won’t be too long.
In the meantime, please peruse our past blogs. You can get to them by using our search bar, by using our menu to bring you to the index pages, or by simply scrolling back. Please do so, and please click away maniacally on those popup ads.
Thanks for your forbearance.
