Where's Pho?

The projects I'm working on are actually going quite well. I'm nearly done with a legal thing I'm working on and have a Shitty First Draft of the article I'm writing.

But I am experiencing technical difficulties. The "E" key on my laptop has gone bad. Sometimes it doesn't work. Sometimes it gets stuck. And sometimes it goes of without any impetus, so I'm pondering my next sentence, look down at the document and see:

    eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
    eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
    eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
    eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
    eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
    eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
On top of that, the "I" key produces extraneous e's, so as IE'm typeing, thiengs look lieke theis. Last night it took my fifteen minutes to compose a five line email.

So my hiatus may be extended a bit. The article is due tomorrow so I may be on tonight depending on how revisions go. But probably we are stuck with only blogging at night until the laptop is back in service as I need it to be able to blog and watch kids at the same time.

Thanks for your patience.

Good luck with your laptop. I just had to replace my old keyboard that I've had around for years. It was doing the same thing, and upon investigation, I found years of accumulated crud underneath the keys, but even an air blowing did not help.

Looking forward to your return and to another Top Chef recap! How idiotic can you get -- unable to cook because you are dressed to party!
