Piper paying

So, while some work did get done on Saturday, Otis and I decided to be like real people and actually go out to a movie Saturday evening. Dingo, Johnbai, and Mel joined us for an impromptu Moovie Nite at the Varsity for a screening of all five of the Oscar-nominated live action short films. The films were all great, and so was the conversation-cum-coffee at the IHOP afterwards. After discussing the films, it took a long time to reach some consensus on our plans for thriving after the apocolypse / revolution / zombie invasion (which is more important: shotgun shells or moisturizer?), so, of course, we stayed out too late to actually get any additional grading done when we got home.

All that meant, of course, was that we essentially responded to papers from about 8:30 am to 8:00 pm yesterday, with a short break for Taco Del Mar at lunchtime and homemade stir-fry for dinner. Yay, the-opposite-of-lazy-Sunday!

Slapping the virtual dust from my hands

Well, that outghta take care of that! Before diving into work today, I have tried to get caught up with e-communication: reading all the newest entries in our burgeoning blogosphere, posting hither and yon, answering personal emails, and suchlike. Whew!

Thanks to everyone for the moving support. I'll be in touch with additional details as they develop.

Here's a picture that I made a while ago of me as a Lego-man :

I am thinking of using this as my new profile picture. You can make a picture of yourself as a Lego-person here. Make one and email it to me; I'll cover the bandwith to put up a slide show or a web page or something.
