Linux is an operating system (an alternative to MS Windows) -- it's Free
Software (as in "free speech").  You-all probably don't run it in your
house since you do a lot of typesetting.  But, it may be the
anti-corporate alternative you've been looking for...  Look at
http://www.linux.org & http://www.fsf.org & http://www.debian.org
It's all geek stuff, I know, but...

Me, too.  I was thinking of some excuse to write you, and this was
perfect...  at least, I _think_ it was perfect :-).

Ouch.  I've been doing lots of house stuff -- finally getting around to
painting the fence.  The weeds are as monstrous as ever.  I'm sure our
neighbors love us...

The car's been acting up.  Noelle and I have been riding bikes more --
it's actually been kinda nice.

A bicyclist was killed in Cambridge a couple of weeks ago -- under the
rear wheel of a bus.  It was sad and tragic.  It's the unfortunate reality
of bicycling in Boston.

I went to the Critical Mass last month, but won't make it this month
(tomorrow).  Work is just being a pain in the ass.

I actually missed the monthly pro-choice anti-anti-choice demo at the
Planned Parenthood -- first time in 3 years.  I'm sure the anti's were
celebrating -- I'm usually the only protester there.

Pretty nifty, 'though your recipes page leaves me feeling a little empty.

Actually, I looked at openwebmail.org.  Since you seem to be running it,
that _must_ mean that you have Linux installed somewhere.

See ya!
