On the subject of all the format tweaking that's been going on over here, the T-Shirt page has been updated with what is believed to be a pretty bug-free, cross-browser version of what we are striving for. Since there seem to be enough different configurations to account for in web design as any other area of computer programming these days, it seems wise to offer this up for criticism before carrying it over to the rest of the site, so if you have the inclination, pop on over and take a look, and please feel free to let us know if you notice some way the format or code is broken on your set-up. Thanks.

I survived Dr. Toothy pulling that wisdom tooth, and he lived up to his promise of making it as smooth a procedure as possible (if anyone wants a recommendation for an incredible dentist in New York City, drop me a line). After being prepped and drugged and gassed, he ended up "coaxing" the sucker out, making me (and perhaps him too) wonder why he sent me to the oral surgeon last time, a traditional yank with a pliers dealie leaving me with a footprint on my chest that persists to this day.
