Sorry about the missing update from yesterday. It was finally time to embark on my computer upgrade project that was beyond overdue, and ignoring MrsBlue's sage observation that I shouldn't count on getting the new machine ready before updating, embarked on a process that naturally hit a few snags along the way. Everything is humming along pretty smoothly now, but on an unrelated note, there seems to be something wacky going on with my email, as folks have been getting bounce messages. Hopefully I'll be able to get to the bottom of this soon enough, and am looking forward to seeing how smoothly things run with a new computer and new net connection.

Oh yeah, the Isaiah Thomas watch I mentioned the other day only lasted a few hours before he was fired as coach of the Knicks, though arguably it was the GM's fault for sticking him with a lousy squad. Of course he was that GM, so I guess that's fair.
