And just because I'm nice and just because I like you, I'm not even going to... http://www.brighidsfirebooks.com/blog/archives/#000120 http://www.brighidsfirebooks.com/blog/archives/#000120 Tue, 01 Jan 2008 00:05:45 -0500 Oh, did you think we were late this year?

I'll be honestly curmudgeonly and confess that I detest April Fool's Day; no doubt my sense of humor is faulty. I just glad it's an optional quasi-holiday. But never mind that.
