What condition my condition was in . . .

Just dropped in - I'm bad at writing new stuff, so I just fed the fish and silently chastised myself for not having anything original to say.  As it happens, I'm thinking of starting a new blog with an actual theme.  Just kicking some ideas around the office.  We'll see, I guess.  My current distractions have been reading, working, hanging out with family, and helping a friend of mine edit her books (she's an author).  Very fancy-pants stuff.
