Return of the Ramen

All right, here we are again, another year, another column. Not that I'm complaining, or anything. I like doing this sort of thing. But there are only so many words in the English language, and I think I'm really close to my legal limit. Oh, and a big "Hi-de-ho" kind of welcome to everyone who's new at AU.
