Oh, good! We're all here. I could have made another snide remark about people who fell for that "Mayan Apocalypse" thing, but I knew all the readers of this column were way too astute to have believed it for an instant! And now, the days start getting longer! Still, some of my Friday events ended up on the previous article, so check there for some big tappings!
