TMV still is not “complete.” We have our barebones template up, but you’ll start to see some changes in coming weeks. Also: this has been a somewhat tempestuous time for some of TMV’s writers, including yours truly. In my case, I’ve had a bunch of emergencies and have driven HUGE distances the past four weeks — but have still posted here. Things are already returning to “normal.” Readers’ comments about the temporary template have made us decide to keep it — and build on it (you’ll see!).
