What a holiday break it’s been...I am now the fourth and final member of our small family to be afflicted with a stomach virus which the Greek Mangas (yet another victim of the nastiness) has dubbed “the black death.”  

Oddly enough, a lot of the ugliness at my house started around the same time as the final broadcast of ABC’s Monday Night Football.  Could it be that the farewell musings of Al Michaels were just too much for us and we were overcome with gut-wretching disgust?  

Anyway, the unpleasantness of our collective ill health has put the kibosh on some of my lofty plans for this holiday break.  In addition to some projects here at home, I had started a few pieces for greeklish.org, including an article about the recent Wikipedia/John Siegenthaler Sr. fiasco as well as some more tsunami updates. Unfortunately, this stuff is on the back burner until I'm in better shape.

At any rate, there's plenty more on the way, pending my recovery.  In the meantime, please enjoy this comic strip panel which makes absolutely no sense when viewed by itself...
