This blog has been fairly quiet since October 8th. That's because I decided that I needed some time off to get my head back together-- and to quit being sick too-- and try to deal with the hard reality that I've lost someone very special.

Handling the minutiae of somebody's estate is hard. But I have found out something very interesting. I now know why most men die before their wives do. It's so that their wives can handle all the paperwork!

In the next few days, I'll have a lot of things to say about a lot of things. I have stuff to write about ISA and its travails. I have stuff to write about the future of automation, and I have stuff to write about the world of Control

I'm glad you're still here.
