No, I have not dropped off the face of the earth

My official job title is "project coordinator," and what that means often is that I act as a liaison between our board (we are a nonprofit), our staff, and volunteers who work on workgroups. My current project has a fairly rigorous meeting schedule and today was the first day of a three-day workgroup meeting. In brief, that means, I spend all day in a room with an international group of folks making decisions and talking about important stuff (important in our world). Sooo.... I have emerged from the conference room and am at this moment acting as emotional (telephone) triage for a couple of friends. More soon.
