A Side of Panache

Welcome back to our irregularly scheduled nonsense!  Sorry for taking so long in between posts, I've had a lot of Big Life Events in the way for the last month (i.e., interviews for a job next summer--the good news is I think I succeeded in finding something that will fit me really well!).  So, uh, to celebrate, I guess I'm getting back into this!
