Friday Morning Meta

Today I'm taking a vacation day from work, to have a root canal. I also agreed to stop by the parish center of my church, to help the ladies set-up e-mail.

So hopefully the later part of the day will involve dentist-perscribed painkillers. Otherwise I'm planning on a bottle of 'Two-buck Chuck' from the Trader Joe's which recently opened nearby -- another sign Cincinnati is advancing steadily into the 90s. In either case I will be blogging for your entertainment.

Careful observers will see some upgrades to the site. A big thank-you to John, my oldest and closest friend from D.C. and a brilliant graphic designer. And shouts out to Google for the vain promise of income.

UPDATE: I'm glad I don't know any military secrets, because I now know my breaking point. Although a close second, on the pain scale, was the fact that I was forced to endure 'The View' on the TV while the root canal was taking place. Marquis de Sade, white courtesy phone.
