So apparently my hosting company changed networks/datacenters, and in the process, one of my posts appears to have been eaten. No worries. I was just thanking everyone for all their well-wishes, presents and other assorted things related to my birthday. It was a most enjoyable weekend, and I made out like a bandit. [big smile] I apparently missed the big-ass earthquake. I just thought the people on the floor above us were stomping around and making the building creak, I didn't realize the whole damn building was rocking back and forth. Half the office fled the building, but I stayed inside. When one of my co-workers came back and saw me sitting at my desk, she commented, "Well, I guess Keith is fearless..." So, Christmas is almost upon us, and I plan on seeing Elf and Lord of the Rings. One of my friends has invited me to a party on Christmas Day where we'll do the Jewish thing and order Chinese food and watch movies. Wheee! I'm a Jew -- but not a lonely Jew -- on Chriiiiiiistmaaaaaaas...
