this seems like a non sequitur. did I miss something?

Sorry about that. I meant that post as a comment on Fledgling's post "The Audacity of Hopelessness" http://fledgist.livejournal.com/743389.html, John Maxwell's column on some of Haiti's problems.

Somehow the post ended up in the wrong place, I claim "temporary insanity" but if that concerns you, don't worry as I am working on making it "permanent."

I miss Suck. They made the first dot-com bubble more bearable.

I once proposed marriage to Heather Havrilesky. (It seemed obligatory at the time.)
