So the writers are back from their second strike in 20 years, and everything will be back to normal. Status quo, restored, equilibrium balanced yet again. I observed the first "Late Show with Conan O'Brien" with the writers back a couple of nights ago, and he did a segment in tribute to all the highlights they had on the show during writer-less episodes.

Another Winter Olympics has come and gone, and with these festivities I have rediscovered a passion for the occasion. There's nothing quite like millions of people coming together for the same common cause (and that of a positive nature, in such trying times).
