Several people have written, so this seems the fastest way to give the all-clear. Jen and I are fine, though along the line the bombs were on; transportation to Earl's Court for the tournament should be interesting.

I was sick for a couple of days last week. In a fit of insanity brought on by free time, I decided to create a homemade 3rd set for Kamigawa block. I showed it to a few friends, tweaked some cards that weren't sitting right, and it's basically ready for public consumption.
