Well, the internet definitely has its bugaboos. But, for now at least, everything seems to be sorted out. Our brief absence was due to two reasons (both, really, my fault): first, I didn't renew our domain name when I was supposed to, leading to it being "sniped" by someone else; second, there was a change in servers on our host site, causing the even more traumatic loss of all our data. Many of you were affected by the loss of your e-mail data; I'm doing what I can to recover it. In the meanwhile, this has given me the opportunity to upgrade the site infrastructure -- we're now based on Mambo, rather than PostNuke. I've rebuilt most of the site, but a lot remains to be done. The first thing that's coming is the new Gallery section... hold your horses, it'll be cool. There's some new content based on my recent travels, and much more to come. For now, enjoy, participate, publish;  just pardon the dust!

In one of the biggest rollercoaster rides of my many years of following football, the Colts dropped out of the playoffs with a resounding 21-18 defeat at the hands of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Sure, one could make many excuses for the game, like the fact that the Colts were rusty after having not played a meaningful game for what seems like an eternity, but that fact this loss was a combination of the Steelers outplaying the Colts on both sides of the ball, and the Colts just beating themselves.
