Happy Birthday!

If it is in fact your birthday.

Otherwise, it's just Monday morning, but cheer up! Things could be a whole lot worse: for you, for me, for your city, my state, your region, my country, or our planet. Yes, indeed.

So get your ass (figurative) offline and punch out some writing! I need 500 words from all y'all by 5 p.m. Do the best you can, and I'll throw in a free proofread, bottom to top, in search of consistent hyphens, dashes, apostrophes, and the magical punctuation of your choice.

Get on it, gentlefolk.
