Is it dead yet?

No, it is not dead yet… though it has been on life support for, like, fur-ever (i.e., I’ve been meme-ing to get around to posting something profound…. get it, meme-ing… you people have not got one funny bone in your collective body).
Why, you ask, have I been so no-posty? Illness for one thing, a general depression (who wouldn’t be depressed with today’s world events), and being swamped at work (which means I’m too tired of working on a computer all day to want to get back on a computer at home… plus my wife will not get off the computer… anyone have a laptop they want to sell cheap?).
