Sabbatical salutations/administrivia/open thread

It has been a busy week as I tried to post an extra two articles a day while Ian is absent. It has been hard. (About six years ago I used to easily post as many as 11 articles a day. Then again, I did it all while at work. Don't tell my old boss that.)

Next week I will post my quarterly appeal for donations. If you want to beat the rush, feel free to donate now by clicking here:

Shabbat Shalom!
