In an effort to move forward the plans for a May 21-23 Buffista F2F in the greater DC/Baltimore vicinity I have put together a

Willow: You know what they say. The bigger they are... Anya: The faster they stomp you into nothin'.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
Depression's continues to touch my own life in many ways, and I know the same is true for some of our own Buffistas. This was in my inbox from Nightline:
TONIGHT'S FOCUS: Depression. Boy, don't you want read further? Of course, not. Who would? Sadly, we in the news business rarely focus on mental illness until there's some celebrity who takes his own life, like actor Spalding Gray, or when someone delusional commits some unspeakable act of violence.
The fact that approximately 19 million American adults suffer from depression is the nation's dirty little secret. We all know it. We just don't want to talk about it 'cause, well, it's depressing to talk about. And yet, and yet, and yet, for those who know, for those who suffer or who have suffered, like myself, and for their loved ones, talking about it, covering it as a major health story, is not only an uplifting acknowledgement that we are not alone, but it offers hope in the form of incredibly effective and available treatment that sadly did not spare the life of Mr. Gray or the nearly 27,000 of those clinically depressed who take their own lives each year.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
In the Minearverse thread, there was some discussion of a resource for quick lookups of tv conventions. I've put up a quick Wiki that might become such a thing. It is here. There are a few "seed" entries.
Any beta activity would be appreciated.
eta: Link updated.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Hey Laistas, Deb Grabien is coming into town, and would love to see as many of us as she can. If you would like to have dinner with her and Nic on Tuesday, March 16th, at Garden of Taxco, at 7:00, please let me know by Sunday and I will make reservations.
