Sorry things have been a little slower than usual over the last two days.  What started out as jet lag became something with lots of coughing and sleeplessness, which in turn paved the way for some kind of bacteria or virus that doesn’t think my body should retain food.  Throw all that on top of my alcoholism and, well, the bloggy product here suffers a little bit.

Thanks for your patience.  I’ll try to rally for a little more work today, and things will (I hope) be back to normal tomorrow.  If you have my home address, send chicken soup and strippers.  (Strippers: chicken soup for your groin.)
