Ack!! Dammit!

No, I didn't speak too soon on the con crud. I'm still crudless. But another problem's cropped up. It seems I may need a new computer. Actually, strike the "may" from that sentence.What makes this...

A very enjoyable day

Went to see Cirque du Soleil today, to watch their performance of Amaluna. Excellent, excellent show. One of their best, in my opinion. Most of the time when I see the Cirque, there's one or two acts...
