My contributions here have tapered a little recently, and I should tell you about one change that's contributing to that a lot and one that I hope isn't more than a little.

About a month ago, I took up a new position at a university after seven years in my old billet, and between tying up loose ends at the old place, making the move, and learning the ropes in the new place, time has been at something of a premium. Nevertheless, it's an exceedingly beneficial change, professionally, spiritually, and frankly—from walking around campus—in terms of my health. What's more—and in no way less, I hope—I have also added a second blog to my roster: Motu Proprio. In this year's new year's post, I acknowledged that posting about Catholic issues had increased and asked if there were any objections; while none were made, there have been several times when I've wanted to post about Catholic issues but felt that they were inappropriate for SF, just too much, either in se or in the context of the recent mix of posts. I don't rule out future posts about Catholic issues at SF, especially when those issues are in the public eye (e.g. this) but MP is much more personal and is focused on those issues; I have a post introducing it (and for those who aren't regulars here, myself) here. I hope that some SF readers will join me there and find it interesting, but I also realize that many of you will do neither, and to that end have undertaken to avoid forcing it on the latter group. I've kept quiet about this development because I wanted to see whether I could run MP without it detracting from my ability to contribute here, and now conclude that the two coexist pretty well, taking into account the time constraints just mentioned.

So that's what's happening with me. What's happening with you?
