"If they were cutting off their hands and putting hooks in their place, then I'd understand."

I was gently reminded, while knocking around the dubious place of my birth, that my blogging habits had, as we say in the trade, died in the arse. I had a bit of a whine in response about how my life was boring these days, and most of the clever/witty/thought-provoking things that occurred were authored by Anthony, and since I egotistically have my website set as our browser homepage, every time he opened Firefox he'd see me reporting all his lunacy to the world. (Hi Anthony!)

Yeah, I dunno, we'll see.
