Wednesday was my last day at work before leaving for vacation. Wednesday was also my birthday. I was supposed to work a regular full day at the office, and I had every intention of doing so. I got there in the morning and started plugging away, getting a phenomenal amount of work done. I was a working fool. Then I started to tire. Things started slowing down and I was more easily distracted. It…
In Thirty odd years I’ve never had any major problems with the laws of physics while making my bed. On Saturday I expected this trend to continue. I was attempting to spread the top sheet across the bed in the time tested fashion: I stood at one end of the bed, grabbed hold of one end of the sheet, and in one continuous motion I threw my arms out in front of me then pulled the end of the…

There is little I can fault with the weekend that just past. It was relaxing, but not overly lazy. I got some things done that needed to be done, but it was not so much that it took over the entire weekend. I went to that Bucs game, and it was pretty cool.

Two: Even if someone was, I have relatively little that I feel the need to hide from anyone.
