How quickly time flies . . .

I am amazed at how long it has been since I've put up a new post! The nearly two weeks intervening this post and my previous one were filled with Holy Week happenings and out-of-town visitors, so I have had precious little time to sit down and write. My absence from the blogosphere has not been due to a want for topics. I've had so many ideas for things to write. Since the main reason I keep this blog is to force myself to write more coherently, I've really been doing myself a disservice by failing to keep it better updated. This fails to mention the impact on you, the literally ones of readers who peruse these pages de temps en temps.

I promise, I will prattle on more in the near future. Look for the conclusion of the My Faith Story series, and some interesting insights into just exactly what I do all day at my lab bench. And no, order things from Amazon.com isn't at the top of the list.

I think maybe it's number 17.

Best Fortune Cookie Fortune. Ever.

I'm sure many of you are aware of, and perhaps have participated in, the tradition of cracking open a fortune cookie, removing the tiny slip of paper from inside and reading it to your friends, adding the words "in bed" to the end of whatever sophism or clairvoyant message is printed on the paper. (There's even a web site that will do this for you.) The following is the fortune I shared with my friends and colleagues at lunch today:

A package of value will soon arrive. In bed.

If anyone needs me, I'll be at home, waiting. In bed.
