Murphy's Law dictates that things go to hell when you are not around to fix them. So, naturally, when I left town on Thursday night, this here place suddenly became the most popular place on the planet and used up 3 weeks worth of bandwidth in a couple of hours.

Everything's back to normal now - although I've been working behind the scenes for some time on some changes around here, so this incident may also add "new host" to the renovation list.

One good thing: I was at Wrigley in Chicago to see the Cubs clinch their playoff berth. I'm hopeful now that I'm back in town I can bring some of that same luck to the local 9... and we'll see the Sox clinch their playoff spot today (or tomorrow).
