Sorry about the quite late update this morning... I wish I could blame it on a server crash or a connectivity crash, but it was really just a webmaster crash: I just plain woke up late. I don't think I'm under the weather, or anything, so I have no idea why I was out so long, but maybe I am fighting something off. Anyway no more time to ramble, it's on with the show.
