Update Update

Hey all, I just wanted to give you the 'puter update: the hard drive has failed, but it's in the capable hands of a technician somewhere, who is supposedly fixing it. Which means I should be back on line in approximately T minus 1 week. In the meantime, you can always read my Tuesday column at Lost Writers, which runs, as one might expect, on Tuesdays, under the heading of my alter ego, Materiella.
