The plague seems to have passed once again, hopefully for good this time.  Made it to work yesterday, and even to our work holiday dinner.  One more day and then I'm off for two weeks for a vacation right here in sunny NYC.  But tonight, it's Slice on Ice -- the Slice Pizza Club trip to Angelo's and then on to Wollman Rink, with the likes of Adam, Tien, Janelle, Youngna, and a few other folks I don't know yet.  Looking forward to it!
