[01/14/2007]   It figures that I found out that I'll be gone for nearly two weeks the second after I told you all that I'd be back this week. I apologize for any inconvenience this causes those of you who have tried emailing me or plan to email me this week, and I also apologize to you readers for the slightly rushed nature of these columns. On the plus side, I'll more than make it up to you guys when I do get back ^^. I'll see you all next week, hopefully.
