My dad’s birthday, at least. Have a happy one, fellah. (Yes, I’m callin’ home later!)

I’ve had my head down writing copy for the past few days and am a bit behind on blogs and things. Much thanks to Midori for mentioning BLUE over at Endicott. There have been a lot of cool posts over there lately, so please do visit if you haven’t in a while.
