I worked a ton this week and then had a friend in town over the weekend, thus the radio silence. A quick summary of the past few days would include going to karaoke and performing "Cover of Rolling Stone" to an apathetic crowd, watching multiple third-tier disaster movies, and coming fairly close to a nervous breakdown at work. More about all later (or at least the last 2), but I just wanted to let everyone know I'm alive.

Speaking of which, Bill wrote today letting me and others know that Gage Vandermark was born this week. Congratulations to Bill, Terri, and Gage, and I wish you all sufficient sleep. Good luck with that.
