IJMC - Ok, More Mir Now

Ahh, the wonderful joys of sleep deprivation after a church conference. 
But boy was it worth it. I haven't spent that much time not sleeping 
enjoyably in a while...anyway, enough about that, I need a nap. This post 
isn't the infamous missing Mir post I couldn't find last week, it's 
actually a newer one. So read on, and hopefully enjoy. I'll be asleep by 
the time you do.                                                    -dave
