I swiped this from my friend G's semi-updated blog.
And since I've got nothing better that I can coherently put together right now, I'll calling an audible and punting. (Hey serious football fans . . . can you both call an audible and punt? I'm thinking not.)
Anyway, it's self explanatory . . . and (possibly?) semi-illuminating?
If you're surprised, let me know.
