I have done my best to write a new Sound Off! essay once a week, but as of late I have had so much on my plate that it’s been very hard to devote any time to this. However, I am working on a couple ideas, and keeping up with current events will certainly provide more grist for my mill. There’s always something to inspire me.<\/p>\n
