As I pondered potential themes for this, my latest contribution to the (ugh) "blogosphere," I suddenly thought to myself, "You know, it's about time we had a little bit of levity around here." Exact words! To be honest, though, I really don't have it in me right now, and I know better than to try and force humor - the results are generally quite disastrous. So, I'm afraid we'll have to make do with what I promise will be the last batch of famous quotes for a while. Enjoy...
