Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas/Hannukah/Eid al-Adha/Festivus/Holidays. Hope that takes care of everybody.
I have returned to the world of the vertical and the living. But I shall not blog on Christmas or Christmas Eve. What are you doing on the Internet today anyway?
I'll be back the day after with lots of material.

Well, being an atheistic Jew, and anyway, the last day of Hanukah was yesterday. (Even if I were religious, I'm not aware of any injunction to stay off the internet -- it's not as if it's Shabbat, or Yom Kippur -- and it's not as if there are a lot of duties for even the Orthodox over the last 11 days, so far as I know; not a huge time investment, besides a couple of minutes to light candles and say blessings at sundown.)
Incidentally, while a lot of folks aren't paying attention to the news, Ethiopia has gone to all-out war against Somalia and the Islamic Courts government; since we're pretty tied up in this, it's worth noting.
Since you celebrate Christmas, Michael, I hope you have a merry one.

I always see many people on no matter the time or occasion. Guess it's never a bad time to play.
By the way, thats why I'm on too. Heh.

A bit of good will is never wasted.
