Short Shrift: Just a quick post to let you know I haven't died and I'll be back to my regular antics by early next week. In the meantime, why not check out Yahoo's Site Picks for some distraction. Also, the latest issue of Forbes has a fascinating article on how memories are formed chemically and the research going on to boost memory retention through drugs. Better living through chemistry. It's print only unless you are a Forbes subscriber, but it might be worth the magazine purchase. In any event I'll try to give you a heads up when/if it becomes available on-line.

Stay tuned...
