Apologies to all who are checking this space, but posting has been slow for the last few days, and will be slow for at least a couple more.  Whether it’s the flu formerly known as swine or something even less glamorous, a virus of some kind is sweeping through Mead Global HQ.  I will spare you the details, but the worst seems to be over.  We have plans underway to upgrade the blog and over the next couple of weeks will roll out some improvements; meanwhile, the quest to name the blog continues.  Mead Matters?  Via Meadia?  Any other suggestions?
