I am back from London—where the steadily escalating death toll from the Asian tsunami added a somber note to the festivities.

Regular postings will resume tomorrow morning.

There will be no end to the ration of crap I am going to give Paul for not managing a single posting in my absence.

In all fairness, he is probably working his ass off with the ACA Annual Meeting and Luncheon. (Which reminds me that I need to renew my membership and send in my RSVP by January 17.)
