Dawn of the Interwebs

Can it be?  I actually have...Internet access!  Right here in my own apartment!  No more scrambling around to hunt up stray bandwidth, buying polite bagels I don't want.  I can actually check my email whenever I want to without getting dressed up, showering, and then justifying the trip by staying for 90 minutes.  Excuse me for a moment--just thinking about all the time I can save now has made me a little dizzy.  

The bad news is that I'm still completely swamped with my book, and I'm hoping to get a really good draft done at the plausible clip of...well, I can't specify, but I should be mostly free of the sweatiest mining by the end of the month.  

In the meantime, though, my postings should pick up almost immediately, partly because it's gotten so much easier to do now...and partly because, back during the move, I uncovered a surprising stash of old cartoons in a book that was covered with mold.  So in order to toss the book, I had to scan the cartoons, and now I've got about a dozen of them ready at a moment's notice.  I'm (tentatively) back, baby!  I'm (tentatively) back!
