Sorry about the dust and cobwebs! I'm in the middle of a move to a new country. Moving my family to Sweden has taken it's toll on my "free time." People have been very interested about the move, why I'm doing, how it's going, what I'll do there, etc. etc. So I plan on writing about that in the future. I have a post nearly written about species concepts, though, so I'll give to you this folk musician's interpretation of the origin of species to tie you over. :)
