Thought I'd come out of lurking to post something. Physical restrictions keep me off the computer for extended periods, and since my work requires a lot of keyboarding, I'm not on for fun very often.

So, what drew me out? The SSHG Exchange is in full swing. As with previous years, it is filled with great stories, clever writing and incredible artwork. If you haven't taken the opportunity to visit the Exchange, do yourself a favor. Go read. Enjoy. The talent on display is remarkable.
