See subject. And catch up on your reading, have a nice excuse to call your mother, have a nice drunk, enjoy your family, try not to go stir crazy, etc. etc.

I put the subject in the form of a question so it would be more GQ-appropriate.🙂

It will probably just be moved to MPSIMS, not closed.

Hello world. I’m back on the information superhighway, and where do I go first? The Dope, of course.

I’m sitting comfortably in the Waldorf Astoria–no Starbucks for me–glomming off five WiFis, if I want, in the north-of-39th St. wonderland of electricity.

I haven’t even called my Mom yet (no service). I watched the blue-boom of the Con Ed plant that is causing all the pain in the ass, behind Avenue C where the cars were a floatin’.

Now what?
