The Unavoidable but Finite Absence of A. Fortis

Thanks to uncontrolled and constant bombardment by random crap happening in my schedule, in my other life as a work monkey with a glutton for punishment and an inability to say no, I've been rather pathetic at posting, writing, and even reading, though I just finished Uglies and will have to somehow fit a bookstore trip into today so I can get the sequel to read on the plane tomorrow.

Yup, a. fortis is going to be on conference hiatus (though I might pop in to say hi) for the duration of next week and possibly the week after. Fortunately, TadMack is more than capable of holding down the fort (what do I even post, anyway? goofy, half-assed-ly drawn cartoons? late-to-the-game news tidbits? unsolicited snark?). So I will see you when I get back, AFTER a long nap that could last several days. Cheers!
