There is an interesting development in the Blogosphere:  BlogTalkRadio.  Apparently, this services lets bloggers host their own talk show online.  The website announces that you can "receive live callers, interview guests, and broadcast to an unlimited number of listeners.  Very interesting, my F.R.'s.  I'm just trying to decide on the following:  a.  What time slot I would prefer, and b.  What the hell I would talk about.  Maybe I can get the cats to holler in unison as I juggle bells.  Hmmm... details coming soon. 

(I also learned today that the phrase "abdominal pain, flatulance, and diarrhea" can be summed up simply as "gastrointestinal disturbances."  I love editorial work.  It's had me laughing like an eight year old all day long.  Apparently, I have not outgrown my love for a good fart joke.)

This weekend brings Chris and I journeying home for the first time since our Big Move.  (Yes, home is only 3 hours away.  I realize that is hardly a journey compared to the trek some people make just to go to work, but keep in mind I grew up in RI.  A drive that took more than 20 minutes?  You'd better pack a lunch.)  I'm very much looking forward to seeing my friends and going to a beach that doesn't have any portion of the words "long," "island," or "sound" in its name.  A visit to see my Grammie is also scheduled.  I'll pass on all of your kind words her way.  The appointment with Mr. Specialist is early next week, so the waiting continues.

Lastly, on the Exist Magazine front, we're in the process of launching with a brand new template.  We appreciate all the feedback from readers.  It's been a wild month, that's for damn sure.  The Firefox vs. IE war has been waging on for days in our apartment, only to be efficiently solved by the patience, hard work, and endless graciousness of a volunteer web-designer.  Without HIS help, we'd have been completely sunk.  Or forced to send out stone tablets that the Flintstone's bird had etched the August issue into.  Give us just a few more days to work out the jumbles and be sure to look for the August Issue in less than a week!
