I must get the house cleaned, Elena is due in less than an hour and I have to clean so she can clean. Please take up the slack--try my favorite place to steal articles: lucianne.com or news.bbc.uk. There's also foxnews.com, cnn.com, etc. By the time I get back to checking the news sites, there'll be so much to sift through I might miss something useful or interesting.

Git, you have done yeoman's work here. I have my own cache of excuses (well, the ferocious, weekend-long headache didn't help). But there was overload. So little that seems to matter right now, and some that are far too upsetting to post. It's been hard to go looking for trouble to share.

Thanks y'all, taking a little break here. Kitchen faucet just went kaput so there's another job for me today. Aaaaargh! Already got a new one, Elena ran me over to the store. If the market keeps up this way, this may be the last time I see Elena for a while. . .
