Updated October 22, 2017: I'm back home in the United States now, and no longer feel the need to password-protect this blog. 

Dear Blog Subscribers,

I have just installed password protection to the blog portion of my web site. Given today's regional sensitivities, I'd rather be safe than sorry. If you'd like to continue having access to the blog, just drop me an email or leave me a comment, and I'll happily send you the keys to the front door!

Wishing you all the best,

Kim Kash
