Awww, thanks y'all. I'll go off-topic briefly to say thanks. My group is still recovering from the loss, but we're not going anywhere anytime soon.
It seems we've got a lot more support among faculty than we realized (several biology and health professions professors have, before the election, asked me for McCain/Palin signs and stickers, but I didn't have anymore.
)
Woody, I definitely don't sit within 4 feet of a tv.
I prefer sitting on a couch, not on the floor (if I wanted to be that close to the tv, that's where I'd have to sit
) when I watch my favorite shows. As I've said before, I'm still doing my research on various 32 and 26 inch LCD's, so it could be well into the new year before I get one.
