Dear Canada

Now is a perfect time to enact those coup d'etat plans you've been sitting on for years. No, no need to act surprised; you've been pretty transparent, really, massing your population along the border like that.

Really, now's the time. It's chaos down here. A few hours of intense activity in Washington ought to do the trick. Shouldn't be a problem with all those sleeper cells you've installed, right? Come on.

I, for one, will welcome you as liberators.

In between fits of gibbering, epileptic rage, I have been busy:

* Sent unsolicited pitches at several angel groups and (a bit more warily) VC groups who deal with small-potatoes companies like us. Aabout half-dozen so far. Looking forward to dropping in on some local Chamber of Commerce stuff later this month, so I can be slightly less unsolicited maybe.
* Have returned to ICCB, for a few weeks anyway, and am working at 5 percent efficency. Chug, chug, poomf, clang, noise of metal disc wobbling after being dropped.
* Getting the hell out of town this weekend, which I believe will be good for me.
* Drew up plans with the SCAT programming director to make The Gameshelf into a monthly series. Bite...
* Wrote the p.culture guy back, and might end up volunteering with that project on some level. Bite...
* May help a local radio-play group with a public performance of a 1930's radio serial episode. Bite...

Hmm, I have seem to have difficultly chewing this enormous project-bolus I find jammed in my mouth. However did that happen. OK, I haven't committed to any of that stuff yet... I'll be wary about overdoing it.

I am really quite curious exactly how Bush is planning on "touring" the disaster area. Wouldn't his safety in doing so be akin to touring the streets of Baghdad, at this point?

Either this is going to be a pathetic token gesture, or he's going to get himself killed.
