hey there! 

with full knowledge that (given that it's currently January) I have a commitment to posting something each day, I just wanted to put out some form of notice that there won't be a post tonight, because I'm working on something a fair bit longer than usual for tomorrow, and I want to be able to take the time to finish (let alone edit).
