Add a "now page" that will disappear when out-of-date

In addition to writing the now page itself, I created a new layout for
my Hugo template and a new partial footer. When the page is older than
~1/2 of a year (using a value defined as a site parameter), it won't be
listed in the footer, and the page contents will be replaced by a
placeholder.

+We’ve been in our new home in Southern California for nearly a year and
+a half. I still have a long list of projects to do around the house (which
+seems to keep growing no matter how much I finish), but I think I can say
+that we’re “settled in”. My youngest child loves preschool, and my spouse is
+thriving in her new role. My oldest child is on the east coast and has
+nearly finished her first year of post-collegiate professional life. I’m
+still stitching together a social life, but having moved across the country
+before, I understand that this is a years-long---maybe
+a lifetime-long---process.
+
+Professionally, I started a new position last autumn in the public sector.
+I’m happy with my new job responsibilities, the team I get to work with, and
+the organization’s mission. This role pushes me more in the direction of
+a [Type B data
+scientist](https://www.quora.com/What-is-data-science/answer/Michael-Hochster),
+but I think I was ready for a slight change of focus.
