the calm before the pomo

Before I get to the big post that's been lurking for awhile, I just wanted to take a moment to answer the question Dwight asked me a couple days ago (or rather, the machine gun burst of several questions he asked all at once). Back in February, I met a woman who is insanely awesome. We hit it off immediately--technically, our first date lasted an entire weekend, if that tells you anything. She's smart, literate (you should see our combined library), gorgeous, funny, and will hereinafter be referred to in this blog as Lawyer Girlfriend (y'know, since she's a lawyer and all). She also has two girls (ages seven and eleven) who are both pretty damn awesome in their own right. As of a week or two ago, all four of us now live together in a nice little house in a quiet neighborhood. There's also a palm tree out front, but that's neither here nor there. In short, life is good.

The long-delayed post on postmodernism will show up sometime later today. I've been feeling healthy enough the last few days to resume working on it, but I also managed to slice off part of one of my fingers the other day while chopping vegetables (including a respectable piece of fingernail), so typing has been going slower than usual.
