Just When I Thought I Was Out... They Pull Me Back In!

It was either that header or, "I'm baaaack!"

A confluence of really juicy events (some past, some present, and some on the horizon) have brought me out of my bloggy torpor. As I wipe the moss and mildew from my screen, chisel the keyboard and mouse from their surrounding matrix of sedimentary rock, and brush my tooth, know that Malaria, Bedbugs, Sea Lice & Sunsets is lumbering towards you once again in search of fresh brains.

Can I mix more metaphors in this post?!

While you no doubt wait at the edge of your seats for the gold I'm about to spin, satisfy your ocean blogging jones over at Southern Fried Science where my pal Andrew is punishing entertaining us all with a new, year-long series called Finding Melville's Whale: a discussion of the classic, Moby Dick, from a (mostly) marine biologist perspective.

More soon!
