Here is the main reason:  I hadn't updated since August 29, 2001.  Today's date is January 24, 2003.  This is an occasion to hang my head in shame.  :( 
But now I will return to the crazy world of TPWAP on a much more regular basis.  For any of you wondering where I've been since I last updated, I was kidnapped and sent to be a spy in Idaho, where I spent many grueling months cooking spaghetti strand by strand. 
It's good to be back. 
I'm also a jerk because I kick monkeys, steal clothespins, and laugh when someone catches on fire.
(Kidding!)
