The Proverbial Towel.

Consider this a farewell of sorts. I almost made it a whole month, reading (or at least not immediately deleting) every piece of email from Mr. Bohn. Alas, I was incapable of keeping up with the pace. I know, I am a wuss. I never should have even taken up the challenge. (but in my defense, there were at least 72 of them!)

The scary part is how I estimated that there would be 64 for the month, and in fact, there were more. That is why I am getting out now, since the future looks very grim. However, I'll still (possibly) comment on things where I actually have an opinion, so maybe sometime in say... oh a few years I'll get one of those. Until then, I'll leave you with the backlog from the past week:
