Musicians, coffee, Golden Girls and Gladiator

We're still in SDCM (super duper crank mode) over here, but a few updates:

• The Jewel site is live at www.jewel-web.com. CK did a great job on the design -- one of my personal favorites that we've done.
  
  
• The first phase of the George Michael site is up at www.georgemichael.com. More sections to follow in the upcoming weeks.
  
  
• Today is my 10th day without coffee. Doing pretty good. CK argues that it doesn't count because I still derive caffeine from other sources, including a Starbucks mocha drink on Day #1. But I stopped listening to long-haired hippies back in the mid-70s, so frankly his opinion doesn't matter. In lieu of coffee, I've been drinking a gallon of water each day. Which is great and healthy, but I have to go to the bathroom every hour. Never knew I had Estelle Getty's bladder...
  
  
• We bought an iMac and placed it on the floating desk. That will be the new webcam once we have time to muck around with it. Even better, it has a DVD drive and a big monitor, so we've put a couple movies in and listen to them in the background. Right now, we have "Gladiator" on, which has spurred numerous remarks, such as "Oh Gluteus Maximus, why are you such an ass?" and Gavin asking CK, "Have you seen this movie yet?" Clearly, comedy is alive and well here. At least to us. Which is what counts.
