I know you are all celebrating my (temporary) absence from the blogosphere, but I want to interrupt your revelry with this update: My computer has been having seizures. I mean this literally, I start it up and the monitor image begins to distort and "shake". It also occasionally won't start up at all, but rather turns a brilliant hue of purple, followed by an odd morphing into other colors. No, I'm not on acid. It also occasionally talks of wanting to "Phone Home" and going to a farm with lots of rabbits. I suppose that is what I get for naming it Hal. In any event, it won't work for more than five minutes without shutting down, making blogging a pretty futile effort. (This is attempt 4 on this post) I managed to convince Dell to send me a new computer, which, according to them, should arrive somewhere between 7 business days and three years from now. So, provided Hal doesn't bludgeon me to death in the interim, I should soon return to my hallowed place in your web browsing history, just after Mauritanian Frisbee Golf highlights.
