On the news the night before last I saw a small, handwritten sign that someone had put up overlooking the Beltway near where I live. It said simply, "We are not afraid."

We may be in pain, and have suffered enormous losses -- but we are not afraid.

I'm back home from San Francisco now. WEB2001 was a load of fun, but looking back I probably should have taken a camera, because now I have wait for everyone else to post theirs.

Christopher says I only blog when something makes me mad, and that just pisses me off.

Laura and I just got home from seeing Planet of the Apes, and I feel it's my civic duty to warn anyone reading this: Do not waste your money on this movie. It is bad. It is horrible. To call it total crap would be a grave insult to feces.

I've been doing a bit of commuting between Baltimore and New York recently, and I must say, the Acela really is the only civilized way to go. New York's Penn Station, on the other hand...
