I'M ALIVE. REALLY.
I'm just very very very very busy. And, you know, much as I love you all, the day job is what puts wine in the refrigerator. I hope to get past this in a few days. (The same goes for e-mail: Toddy, Jeff, Levi... I know I owe, and have for weeks in some cases. But I haven't forgotten you.)

By the way, how come no one told me I had misspelled 'ciao' in the March 12 title? Do I have to double-check all my work on my own? Sheesh!
