Or, barring that, the office will be closed again. Anything in between that &#8212; the office open, but problems aplenty &#8212; doesn&#8217;t sound like fun.<\/p>\n<p>Right now, just enjoying a regular Sunday. I did the crossword puzzle, moved lawn furniture away from the house, watched the okay but kind of disappointing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0062512\/\">You Only Live Twice<\/a>, and read a bunch of <i>Kaleidotrope<\/i> submissions.
