Where to begin? I extemporaneously decided to take last week off from blogging, so I have two weeks to catch on. And I don’t want to ramble on ad infinatum but I do want to convey how neat the last couple weeks have been.

But this current situation with the auto industry has cut too close, so I’ve been talking about that a lot instead.
