Quick Administrative Notes

1. Later today I will be going to the Philippines for a couple of weeks. I plan to update more frequently than I have been in recent times. You might even get photos.
2. I have a new blog, in addition to this one, but I haven't really updated it yet since the first night I made it, so we'll see if it ever actually comes to anything. Its called the Chimerical Clam-Bake (regretably) and its meant to just be a collection of linkage to things that capture my attention for short periods of time. Please email me suggestions.
3. If you borrow someones bike to go to the service station to buy Ginger Beer before a game of Scattegories don't forget to put it back inside the house before you sit down to play, because otherwise it will probably get stolen later on and you'll have to give your friend $400 for a new bike.
