A little tweetie bird has informed me that Vincent D'Onofrio is being booted from Criminal Intent, and that a main character (not him) is about to get murdered.

Worse, we won't learn the details until March.

The agony!!!

Take this simple test. What letter goes in the blank?

Holy crap! I missed my second Voxiversary!

By almost three months!

This can only mean I have been distracted because (choose one):

• my life has become a living hell the likes of which no one should have to suffer.
• my life has become a living hell the likes of which everyone should have to suffer!
• my life has become a living purgatory which a few people might have to suffer under certain circumstances.
• the earth stopped turning.
• the earth was turning with a hestitant grinding motion, which proved to be worn bearings.
• Vincent D'Onofrio showed up demanding money, or at least some coupons.
• I was buried under an avalanche of doorknobs.
• the Spanish fly didn't work.
• I realized after years of denial that Pikachu does not have Focus Fist.
• no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't fit the bottle inside the toy ship.
• Tyra Banks is even higher maintenance than you might think.
• I learned the Pope is not only Jewish, but shows up at Rotary meetings wearing gigantic lapels and a cravat.
• the double pneumonia I contracted after being caught in the rain at that Reds game took months to clear up.
• Buddy Guy keeps calling me asking where he can get one of those cool Tripwire "got integrity?" T-shirts.
• I only went to Washington, D.C. to visit, but I ended up ensnared in partisan politics, bureaucratic stonewalling, and unrelenting harrassment from the shoe-leather lobby.
• using Twitter to post every aspect of my personal grooming requires a serious time commitment.
• buying a product called "Rolex Viagra Stocks Cialis Luxury" can be a very, very costly mistake.

So, thanks for your patience and understanding. To get things under control, I will probably need a flashlight, an analog wristwatch, an assortment of small loudspeakers, and a street map of Decatur (Illinois or Georgia, it doesn't really matter). I'll let you know.

(I tried to post this earlier, but Vox Mobile isn't working for me.)

We'll miss you. So glad I got to see Peter, Paul & Mary in the early 90s. (Funny story about that show...some other time.)

Remembering 9/11/2001 as clearly as if it were this morning.

From 2007, recollection and reflection.
