Well it was bound to happen -- last week I broke my streak of successive weekday posts. I'm traveling a lot this month (again today!), and though that exposes me to broad swaths of humanity meriting ridicule, it also saps my energy so that I can do nothing at the end of the day but curl into a fetal position on my hotel bed and watch "CHiPS" reruns. That one where Ponch and John learn how to jet-ski to a background of 1970's porn music is a classic.

Anyway, I have a ton of emails which largely fall into one of two camps:

1) Hey, why aren't you posting more? and,

2) You insensitive moron, why are you posting this crap?

I promise to reply to all of you, even the guy who suggested I'm a worthy target of homosexual rape. Especially you, sweetie. As always, I'll do it in pithy fashion here, exposing you all to the public applause or opprobrium you deserve.
