cognitive dissonance

It's hard to use the indefinite article "a" before an em tag in HTML. The mind wants to associate the article with the tag instead of the (consonant-initiated) noun inside the tag.

a good stopping point

I've reached the end of a major task, and it would be awkward at best to begin the next major task until some other work under way (by someone else) is complete sometime next week. There are a few little things I can do... but mostly, it's an excellent time for a vacation!

Happily, I've got a vacation planned for next week, to New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. I'm not leaving until Monday, but don't expect a lot of activity on this LiveJournal in the near future.
