We now resume regularly scheduled programming . . .

The first two days of a vacation are hard the same way that getting off the treadmill without a cool-down period is hard. You can't stop perspiring and either (a) you feel you need to keep going or (b) you feel like you should throw up. The last day of a vacation is equally hard because after a week or two one gets accustomed to the late mornings and easy evenings. Still, here we are again.

Lots happened while I chose to hibernate: SARS in China, airplane crash, year changed . . . And, now that we're really ready to put it in perspective -- I need more coffee. This is too soon.
