Returning After an Absence

For the past several years I have been distracted by many things, but recent events in Ukraine compel me to bring this blog back to life.  In the coming weeks, I will post thoughts here about the situation.  While I am not on the ground there myself, I count people who are among my friends and believe my insights will be helpful to those who are unsatisfied with the information they are getting about the unrest in Ukraine they are getting in western media.   I anticipate things will be unsettled in Ukraine for a while, so that should keep the posts coming at regular intervals for a while.
