My health appears to be as good as I could expect, and Mary Ellen is moving down soon, so things are looking up.
I'm busy indoctrinating Stu with Lisp. He's excited about it, and I too am learning a bit about creating a medium-sized project with it. I'm also playing with mod_python and postgresql, to keep my knives sharp. I have to, as I'm programming Visual BASIC Script at work, and it makes me feel dirty.
