Or will you be taking the day off from the straightdope? I won’t be able to be here during Christmas dinner. ( Between the hours of 12:00 and 1:00. 🙂 ---

Yup, I’ll be here. I plan on doing the usual movies-and-chinese-food thang, but elsewise, I have four looooooooong days of posting, sleeping, watching movies, and doing more posting. I’d like to be at 2001 posts on 1/1/2001. 🙂 ---
