Greetings, Bombpersons. The Morning F Bomb is going on hiatus for an indefinite period. This Friday's will be the last one for a while. I just need some time to be able to do things for myself. I have a full DVR that I need to take care of, and several books waiting for my attention that I haven't been able to get to, and Lilly the cat says I am neglecting her shamefully because there is always a damned MacBook on her lap. And I need to get out and see my real life friends more often. It's been fun, and hopefully will continue to be fun in the future.
