I apologize for not blogging today. I hate excuses, but this time I’ve got a doozy. Not only is my study being painted, but when I moved the laptop -- which had half of my blog on David Hoffman’s THE DEAD HAND, an outstanding book tracking nukes and bio-weapons from the Cold War to now -- the laptop blew up. Well, it didn’t explode really -– writer’s license -- but the operating system failed. The blue screen of death. So my laptop is residing with the Geek Squad, where they’re doing a data backup and a clean install of Windows 7 Home Premium. I won’t have it back for three days. Yes, I’ve got two other computers, but I can’t use my study except to write this, and both of my other computers are desktops, located… well, you know… I’d have to start over, and I’d likely pass out from the smell and color myself in shades of burnt orange not covered by Coppertone. So now, I’ll put the paint canvas back over everything and smother my sorrows in pizza.
Argh. Top that if you can.

Love the photo, Ben, but it doesn't look like the blue screen of death to me.
No comment.
I sympathize completely. Enjoy your day off!
