sorry to disappear on youse like that. on sunday we had a houseguest, sarah was in town. i made her play (and lose) a bunch of games. then she got me back by making me wake up early and drive her to the airport. this, in turn, started a chain reaction which i blame for my lack of recent posts here: i was stuck in traffic coming back from the airport, missed my usual train to work, missed a few more trains to work, came into the office late, leaving me semi-swamped at work all day and then returning home too tired to blog last night.
so all i'm trying to say is that if you're pissed off that i briefly stopped writing here, it's all sarah's fault. if you feel the need for revenge, go to her site and leave nasty comments. hell, even if you feel no need for revenge and are happy that i shut my trap for a few precious hours, go harass sarah anyway. when you get right down to it, it's nothing but good clean fun. cures cancer too.
