So, I should say something deep.

Ten years ago, I feared I'd never become a father. Today I am blessed with the overflowing love of two children of whom I am unbearably proud.

Of all the changes in the last decade --- especially the warmth and caring of dozens of new friends through the National Puzzlers' League and MIT Mystery Hunt/II&F, through LiveJournal and Facebook, through Zamir and Shaarei Tefillah and JCDS, through Bitstream and Adobe --- friendships for which I am deeply grateful --- my children are the one change that bowls me over.

Schopenhauer wrote, "The first forty years of life give us the text; the next thirty supply the commentary on it."

So fire up the Rashi font and place the cursor in the marginalia, because this is gonna be one helluva fun ride!

Anyone going to be near Harvard?

Ticket info for the Boston Crossword Tournament has been released, and the service charge that Harvard is slapping on tickets ordered by phone ($5.75) or online ($7) is absurd. So I'm wondering if anyone is going to be near there anyway and would be willing to pick one up for me (or, for that matter, if we should just get a group order going).
