Magical retirement

I am making preparations to undergo a "magical retirement" for the next 4 months. There are certain things, magical and mundane, that I need to spend some time on, and due to this I will be eliminating many of my extra-curricular activities. This will include group participation and presence on email lists. I will still be around, but not likely posting too much. I hope to emerge from this retirement with much improvement. We shall see.
