TANNED, RESTED, AND READY: Ah, that's better. Look for blogging to resume sometime today.

POSTSCRIPT: You'll note that comments and trackbacks are now disabled here at The O'Toole File, which means, in essence, that the terrorists spammers have won. Sorry about that. But please feel free to send along your thoughts, complaints, comments, etc. via e-mail. It's always (well, you know, almost always) a pleasure to hear from you.

POSTSCRIPT 2: And, speaking of comments, for some reason, a sizable number of the old ones disappeared when I sucked the archives out of WordPress and injected them into Movable Type. Again, I'm sorry about that. But I've saved the old WP database, and I'll try to find a way to get them back into the system as soon as time and circumstance allow.
