Sorry boys and girls, but I'm feeling a bit under the weather lately (must've been some mutant gambling-hall bug I picked up in Vegas) so the blog was offline Thursday and will be again today (unless Gersh decides to work for once). With a little luck we'll be up and running at full speed Monday, so please come back so I can continue to afford groceries. And don't forget, we're still running daily in tbt*!

In the meantime, enjoy this old commercial of the governor of California selling what I believe is known as a hangover cure, a vitamin-fortified drink Japanese salarymen drink to get over long nights of "networking" (of course, you shouldn't quote me on that). Maybe I should get this stuff.
