Wizard of Erf

It's been a while and I've got a bunch of stuff, but I'll keep it succinct.

First, today I finally felt like I got something accomplished at work instead of simply treading water. A lot of my projects take forever and it seems like I never make any progress. Today, I crossed a bunch of stuff off the "To-Do" list. This is after about 2 months of feeling overwhelmed, It's a good thing, trust me.

Last night - darts. We won 4 games out of 13. This is the most we have won in about a month. It'll be a long season....

I've gone ahead and paid for 6 months of ad-free space for the message board. I suggest you make me feel better and use it. {grin}

I took a look at the latest stats. This page is visited from people in 25 countries, including Tonga. Tonga? Cool. Also in the stats: There were almost 10,000 total web sites (that's the entires site, not just this page) between Nov 16 and now. Extra cool!

I'll be joining the writing staff at A Theme of Absence, writing periodical editorials. I think it'll be monthly - but we shall see. So if you can't enough of me here - go there to see my political side!

I'm really fighting the urge to redesign this page. I only put it up in August. Must .... wait.... at least .... one year......
