Passing For Normal

My desktop's monitor died a few days ago, and my wee netbook was on loan to a friend until yesterday, so I've been offline and won't really be back to my usual presence until new monitor arrives and gets hooked up... probably Thursday. And that blew what was left of the budget, so I can now definitively say that I will not be at the next Bitchin'Party (which was already iffy; this just nailed that particular coffin shut). So it goes. Anyway, apologies for unanswered comments and all that.
