Hello, Ben!
Well, I'm up because my radiator was particularly hissy last night. Actually, even the one in the living room which is strangely quiet was letting off some steam. So...
I have been checking my e-mail to see if anyone really indeed wants to stop by today before 9:00, as well as doing some work on my blog since there seemed to be some sort of stray formatting command which was messing things up.
