no downtime for the dumb

Hello, 'ku believers. It's your close, personal friend, The Haiku Master, and it looks like my hope for a relaxing weekend has been shot to hell once more.

Turns out my science ally, the right honorable Professor de la Groove, just won't take "no" for an answer. Two days ago, I respectfully declined his voicemail request that I provide security for the archaeological dig he's heading up off the coast of India's Mahabalipuram (link goes to the Washington Post).

This morning, I was awakened by two heavily armed thugs who, shall we say, more forcefully expressed the Professor's desire. So I'll be leaving with them shortly -- just as soon as I complete this entry and finish packing. Reports to come, no doubt.

Best,
