I'm a little crazy this morning--a little frenzied. I got up at 6 am to finish my proofreading project, then went to meet w/ the author for an hour before coming to work an hour late. Things are a little backed up here from yesterday (I took off sick). I'm somewhat caught up now, but I'm a little harried--a little wacky. I sort of feel like I could have a heartattack or a rapture or something, which is weird because I haven't even had that much caffeine today. But it's all good, baby -- it is all good.

BTW, did you know that buy.com has trademarked the phrase "It's all good"? It's true. Kinda weird, no?

Did you also know that Lisa Beamer (wife of Todd Beamer, who said "Lets Roll" on the plane that crashed in PA on 9/11) is attempting to trademark the statement "Let's Roll" (http://216.239.53.100/search?q=cache:bbthIAbQjxUC:www.cnn.com/2002/US/02/02/beamer.trademark/+let%27s+roll+and+trademark&hl=en&ie=UTF-8)

BTW. I added you as a friend. :)

Hi -- good to meet you! :)

Yeah, I think I saw that headline a while ago, but I sort of avoided reading the story. I dunno -- I mean, I almost understand the impulse, but it still seems like the phrase should be in the public domain. On the other hand, it is for a good cause, and at least it might prevent schmucks like that Michigan contractor mentioned in the story using it for personal gain. That guy definitely makes the blood boil, huh?
