My gums aren't too sore, but I'm feeling generally lousy. I may be coming down with something.

Anyway, whatever minimal energy I have for typing and thinking has to be devoted to billable activities, what with Christmas coming up, and Tiny Tim and all...

Rand,
although many of us check your Musings several times a day, I hope none of us is selfish enough to expect musings when the author is feeling poorly. Not to mention anyone expecting you to write here instead of earning a living. Sorry to hear your still feeling the ill affects of the dentist and whatever else is coming on. I hope you feel better soon.

At any rate, before you become overwhelmed with glad handing during the holidays, Thank you for posting your insights and L'Chiam!!

Rand, hope you get to feeling better real soon. 'Cause the better you take care of yourself now, the sooner you'll be back up to speed and thus the sooner we'll once again be reading multiple long posts from a favorite blogger.

Take the downtime and use it well.
