Well I'm back after a self-imposed break from posting and email while I was in Flore-da. Here's a wrapup of what happened in the world while I was offline:

-A blackout, most likely caused singlehandedly by the power consumption of Apartment 12, ravaged the northeast and parts of Canadia.

-Some guy I've never heard of won the PGA Championship, subjecting me to incessant boring golf talk on Pardon the Interruption once it returns next week.

-Michael Vick broke his leg and Jimmy Smith got suspended for drug use, totally screwing up my rankings for our fantasy football draft next week and forcing sportscasters to talk about someone besides Michael Vick.

-A bunch of really crappy movies came out that I will never see, including Freddy vs. Jason: Yet Another Nightmare in This Endless String of Movies that Haven't Been Popular Since the Early 80's, Brittany Murphy Looks and Acts Like a Little Kid, Freaky Friday Remade for the 8th Time, and Open Range: Written, Directed, Produced, and Ruined By Kevin Costner.

-Lucas posted, an event quickly becoming as rare as posts by James or Red Sox victories.
