still alive, though not online much these days

This is just to say that I am not dead in a ditch somewhere. I've been insanely busy doing prep work and promotion for this year's Black & Blue Ball. With my boss's due date less than a week away, I am prepared for her to go into labor at any moment. Overall life is currently very social and perhaps a bit soaked in Jack Daniels. I'm still addicted to the gym and going 4 or 5 times every week. I've actually gone to yoga classes there a few times (which I sincerely did not think I would ever do). I finally got my hands on a copy of Malcom Gladwell's Blink which is interesting but not nearly as exciting as I found The Tipping Point.
