While checking out a suspicious comment in the archives, I discovered that for some reason, every instance of "can" in this weblog, from 10/23/03 back, had been replaced by "empathetic". That includes "I can", "American", and "candy". That's a lot of cans, folks. I'd run a replace all, but I may run over an actual empathetic. So, I'm going through and replacing them one at a time. In the meantime, if you are reading something and come across an "empathetic" that doesn't quite fit...well, have patience.
