Sorry for the later update this morning, I finally crashed and burned last night after having a difficult time sleeping in the time following my accident with the dog on Tuesday, something that really played hell on an already sleep-deprived schedule.

On a far happier canine-related note, today is Hudson the wonder dog's birthday, as our little monster turns two. I know that I am not objective, but I think it's safe to say she's a truly great dog; affable, confident, and filled with as much joie de vivre as any creature I've ever met. We consider ourselves quite lucky to share our lives with her, and we will be sure to do our best to let her know how much we appreciate her throughout the day.

Anyway, with the Labor Day holiday underway in the US and ECTS wrapping up in Europe, things will probably be quiet this weekend, but hey, you never know.
