    Today is, apparently, left-handers day. Since I haven’t had time to do a real update, I thought I’d give you few links and change the poll to something about handedness. I am slowly working on a couple of updates for you as well. The antibiotics seem to have helped but…

    Well, the drugs are beginning to take effect and I am feeling somewhat better. I still have a broken laptop, though, and can’t find enough peace and quiet all at one time to work on anything much. I did find a few half-entries on my flash-drive and will try to…
