Up early again. "Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise". Ah, it didn't work. OK, I'll try it again...

I'm eating a piece of left-over steak, wondering what to do with the scraps... I miss Doggie.

Essentially, all I've done since I last wrote here is sleep. That means I don't have much to say, 'cept "good morning". Waiting for the sun. Waiting for the sun. Waiting for the morning paper, actually. Need my daily dose of funnies.

BoB Dole last night: I don't think I want to help him (on social security) after the bad things he said about us. OK, that's a paraphrase, not a quote. So, I guess I shouldn't use quote marks, huh. OK. Anyway, he said something like this when asked if he would serve on the presidents' committee on Social Security. This after what he said in his concession speech the day before... this election isn't over for BoB. He's a bitter old rejected man now. And he will be 'til the day he dies. Too bad.

I have a pimple on the inside of my right nostril, and it really hurts. I know that you think that you don't really need to know that, but it may set the mood for the whole day.

I'm batchin' it this weekend. Karen and Kim are going to KC for their annual "Kim's Birthday Trip" in which they have fun and spend money and leave me at home. On my weekend off, no less. It's OK, I'll find stuff to do, I'm sure!

Incidental note... one of my goals this month is to write an entry every day! I've come really close, but never quite got there. I just want to see the calendar completely filled up just one time.

Went back to bed, Karen left, I got up about 11:45. Went out and got a I/O board to try to get the mouse working. Didn't work, so at this point I have no more ideas. Time to get another computer, I guess. Darn! Actually, it's past time, according to my schedule. I hate being more than two years behind times, the technology just goes too fast for me. For my income, I mean.

So far I haven't got anything done today at all, except for farting around on the computer and on the net. Not that I really had any intentions of getting anything done, really. But what I have gotten done has made me very tired, so I think I'll go back to bed and read a while and go back to sleep. I must have a helluva sleep deficit to make up! Since I probably won't wake up until sometime in the early morning, I'll go ahead and FTP this and get it on-line first.

Thank you all kindly for your e-support!
