Dear Friends:

I am way behind on a couple of major projects. My tenure file is under review by my department right now. And I have a bunch of other things going on in my life (all good).

I really can't blog for a while. It's too draining and distracting to do battle so publicly. It might actually be risky. NYU is in the midst of some serious union busting and the grad students are about to go on strike. And there is a chance that NYU will chicken out on the most serious gay rights and first amendment case in a generation: whether to continue to ban the military from recruiting on campus as long as it discriminates against good patriotic Americans.

And the Google Print/Library things has taken over my life.

I usually can't help mouthing off on all this stuff. But it's not wise.

So I must refrain from blogging until the semester is over. I might announce a few things (papers, etc.). But I can't post like a maniac.

The other folks should be able to pick up the slack for me.

Thanks for understanding.

Siva
