Saturday Zen: Restore Joss Whedon

Today is a special day. One of my best friends in the world is getting married (congratulations, Casey and Nicole!), and I am in the wedding. Because of that, timing issues, and the fact that someone once told me that brevity is the soul of wit, I give you your daily dose of Zen: [...]
