So the reason this is coming in now is because my internet was out all day yesterday. Such is life, so I went for an extended stroll, using what little sunshine we got before it started to rain to get started on a tan. I'm naturally pale and pasty, so I burned a bit. Not too bad, though. Judicious application of aloe verae and still getting some sun should turn it into a tan within a week or two.
Incidentally, it's possible the world will be ending in a few hours, so as my possible-last-will-and-testament, big thanks to all my faithful followers for their support in my mad endeavor, with a special thanks to Nick2 and newjock. Speaking as a Christian who finds the theology behind the May 21 Doomsday idea to be shoddy at best, I'll probably be clocking in tomorrow as well; but, since I've been wrong before, I promise to vouch for all of you at the Gates of Pearl.
