At last, midterms are finished, and I can return to the land of the living. I have a stack of bills 2″ high on my desk, 226 messages in my inbox, voicemail messages that I haven’t listened to, the emptiest refrigerator that I’ve ever had (though with a top shelf chock-full of Waldo’s World o’ Condiments™) and a couple of dozen items in todo.txt. At the moment, though, I think I need just a few hours to be sick, drink some tea, and quietly gloat about Kerry’s 3-0 drubbing of Bush in the past couple of weeks.
