A cup of tea...

a comfy couch and an episode of M*A*S*H.

This was an enjoyable evening even if I did sleep through an hour or so of it on the couch and considering I woke up this morning and felt like someone had thrown me off a four story building into wet concrete, I consider the evening to be even better. Hold the moments, good or bad, hold those instants in your heart, each breath, unlabored, each mouthful of food, delicious, savor them all and rejoice for you are alive.

(yeah, yeah, yeah, how long will that take?)

(There have been a couple of students with whom I would have liked to execute the above sequence. :D )

Coding went well today for a change. I actually felt somewhat less inept. If I can actually stay focused on a project, it usually goes fairly well. It's just the multitude of distractions (usually support questions) that keep me hopping from one project to another.

In other news, the lurking felis, exiled from the diddie.

The celebration of July 4th is imminent here in the states. Fireworks are being gathered and set-off as a pre-cursor to the big day. Travel plans have been made and many have already left for their intended destinations. But, to be honest, I don't feel the patriotism. I just read through The Declaration of Independence and I found an amazing number of similarities between King George III and our current leader, "George". Apparently, I'm not the first person to draw this conclusion, either. If I had time, I'd go through them but there are too many to list. I wonder if the name has something to do with it. As I recall, the last "George" we had in office wasn't much better.

Here's one last link. Warning: This lovely little song by Eric Idle contains "strong" language. ;-)

On that note, I think bed is calling.
