I admit… I was starting to get pangs yesterday afternoon. That apologetic message and the invitation to try again later just wasn’t cutting it! I mean, I knew it was going to be down, they did warn me – I just didn’t realize that a few hours would seem so long! Don’t they realize that I need this to get through the interminable days around here? I was shaking, sick to my stomach, it was just terrible. Signing on again this morning, I got such a buzz… Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh! (Never do that again. Site maintenance should be done only between three and five a.m. central standard time. Are you trying to kill me?) Perhaps I should check myself in somewhere… ---

Meanwhile, I’ve been in Maui for an entire week with NO computer (ok, I was able to check on some email, but nothing more), then I come back to _no_ MB. I laffed! I cried!
