Published 22 years, 9 months pastKat and I just flew back from a weeklong vacation in the Cancun region, and boy, are my arms red! No, really—my sunburn has yet to completely fade. We might actually write up a review of the place we stayed, which is only a few months old. If we do, of course I’ll post the link. First I have to dig throught the 2,407 e-mail messages that piled up in my absence.
While I was gone, John Manning wrote to point out that I need to correct an earlier posting, so I’ll do it here:
<style type="text/css" media="quantum-foam"> cosmos {color: #FEF8EA;} </style>
Turns out the previously-posted value was the result of computational error. Oopsie.
I would have laughed harder at the article “Item Found In Garbage To Be Turned Into Lamp Someday” except it hit a little too close to home. When we took possession of our house, there were several boxes of trash on the treelawn left by the previous occupants. For no apparent reason, I looked through the boxes and actually salvaged something for later conversion to a lamp. What was it, you ask? Let’s just say it’s plastic, brightly colored, and covered in Grateful Dead stickers.
