Interesting. It appears my blog has temporarily kicked the bucket. It'll be back soon, though, I'm sure. Actually, the mere fact that you are reading this most likely indicates that my blog has been restored.

I wonder what metaphor you would use for temporarily kicking the bucket. Maybe like one of those clown toys with the weighted base, so that when you push them over, they immediately pop back up again. You could kick that, and it would immediately return upright. Yeah, that works.

I think this is my brain's way of telling me to forget my hundred-some pages of "Mill on the Floss" and get some sleep.
