The conference was on Sept...
...good, this week, to find ourselves in October. A new month, at least. It will be even better to get to 2002. Calendar hurdles that take us further down the track from 9/11/01 are good things. December 7 won't be easy this year, as the 60th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor bombing will bring back all of this "Day of Infamy" stuff. But at least the movie stiffed, and isn't lingering in the Cineplexes as a reminder...
