Interesting how our lives are parallel these days: I have been scarce, though not completely absent like you; my eyes are jacked-up and I can't wear my contacts, but that's because I've been writing ActionScript in Flash 20 hours per day (WFT with those weird contacts you wear? I'd never heard of them before I clicked your link. Oh, you crazy Canoodlians); I've been working out, too, but if there is any new muscle, its still neatly concealed beneath a blanket of flab; Sleep—tried it for a few nights, look forward to doing it again soon; Wrinkles: all of mine are present and accounted for. Teenagers: also present and accounted for, most of the time. I'm very worried about the Hummingbird, though! I hope all is well on that front. <em>Les Says: Those contacts are SO cool. Originally, they were designed for pilots in (or just after...?) World War II. How cool is that?! I can not afford to worry about the Hummingbird. But worried I get at times. I hear from her quite often, though, as does her mother, so we know she's alive. She dropped her common sense somewhere between homes, though, I think.</em> Welcome back!
