I didn't give birth to my daughter until a full two weeks past her due date. Ever since then, I have pretty much been late for everything.

Take this blog. It's something my editor talked with me about launching back in, um, 2005.

So, yeah. I'm late again. (It's a miracle these people haven't fired me yet.)

I notice, by the way, that there's no provision on this blog for reader comment (other than sending e-mails to me.) So what I'll do instead is try to post as many of your e-mails as possible. This'll no doubt make for some speed bumps in the conversation, but it's a stab at some form of a two-way street.

More later.
