“Michael, I cannot tell you how much my wife would be thrilled by that course of events.”

um , only if it means I get to quit too. And, you know, live off those royalties!

“Gary only has to feed his dog, not a family of four”

Actually, the dog does a pretty good job feeding herself too. I mean OK, someone has to put it in the bowl for her, but after that, she’s got it covered!

“We’re all fine here. How’re you?”

Ah, life as a server admin.

The hosting provider changed the php.ini settings on that server to the highest possible security level, and neglected to tell me. My code wasn’t written for the highest possible php.ini security levels, causing the error logs to fill the hard drive up with non-urgent little warnings about a missing hyphen here or a missing ‘ there. Taken care of now, but it may go back down in the morning until I get a chance to wake up, clean out the error logs, and continue combing my php code for eensy meensy little non-problems that are kicking off the warnings. My apologies.

Also, Lucy Luvbottom did update today, as a matter of fact. Or yesterday, by the time you read this.

His wife can feed herself.

Oh, I know this one: the large cheese pizza can feed a family of four.

(Take out “full-time webcomicky blogger guy” and replace it with “banjo player”–that’s where I’ve heard this joke before).

Also: what’s the difference between a full-time webcomicky blogger guy and a large cheese pizza?

Gary, this is more evidence that you need to quit that teaching job, temporarily live off of the extremely high royalties from your books, and become a full-time webcomicky blogger guy.

Who knows? Maybe you can get syndicated.
