Zathras' Great Machine

We now return to our regularly scheduled blogging

Fine, lay into me for not blogging again. I suppose I do deserve it. :^)

Denise and I have had several days of frenetic discussion and planning, after which she finally got into BWI late last night. Special thanks go to K.L. for selling us one his his frequent-flier tickets at a very attractive price. We owe you one. :-)

Other than that, not a great deal has been going on around here. We had a nice electrical storm late last week which fried my phone line -- Verizon told me I had to stay home today so they could repair it, and then repaired it from outside the building without even telling me they had come (natch).

So now Denise and I are sitting in my low-lit and (for the moment) quiet apartment. She brought her wireless router with her, so we can now both actually use the Internet at the same time. I've really got to get one of those for myself.
