There's Versioning for Tuesday. Good to be back! In case you were curious as to why I was away: long-time readers (legends) may remember I had to take an unscheduled break this time last year. Exactly this time last year, as it happens, as yesterday was the one-year anniversary of the event that precipitated my outage. So I had a day off to spend being grateful, really.

I hope you also had things to be grateful for, and that you're well. I'll be back tomorrow, right after I set up some kind of filter so I can avoid ever seeing a tardigrade ever again.

Send this over to your fellow 'grades. don't be tardy!
