Have you ever noticed that sparrow doesn't have an avatar? I wonder if, during his Time of Blegh, he would like assistance in rectifying that situation?

I'm already retired! (and have been for...[fingers...toes...] 14 months)

It's dreamy! (when you get used to the idea, which might not be as easy as anticipated)

Cheers,

(now that i think of it, they still owe me for some business cards i made recently. better "remind" them monday. blegh.)

Hey! It's Monday (doing the Monday dance). And the nasty cut on my finger is almost healed enough so I can take a shower without using a plastic baggie. I've got Mondays off. This week can't possibly be worse than last week. Got my second Krav Maga lesson. All is well in my world.

Except that I'm really quite jealous of those retired people here....
