I did get a full eight hours of sleep today at least. In fact, I'm feeling pretty rested... I just hope that the night doesn't f**k it up.

I've decided to use f**k instead of f**k from now on, and I will use s**t instead of s**t. That way I can return to being a family publication.

Well, maybe it takes more than that to be a family-oriented publication. I actually don't give a s**t about that f**king stuff anyway.

Later...

I am bummed. Really, really bummed. The North Star Supper Club, the best steak house in Kansas, has been sold. The people who bought it, along with another restaurant, the Plantation own an upscale eating/drinking place, the Blind Tiger. I am really afraid that the North Star will go downhill. I've been going to the North Star for 40-some years, and I'm bummed. The lady that owned and ran both places, The North Star and the Plantation, is 80 years old and is going to retire.

That's a bummer. I feel like she could do another ten, fifteen years, easy.

I'm going over to Joe Ribeaus' place this morning when I get off work to hook him up to the net and to hook up his scanner. After that, I need to go get a money order and send to Tennessee so the guy will ship my laptop. Yeah, we finally got together on that... seems that I was outbid, but the guy with the high bid had a bad email address, so they couldn't get ahold of him.

Later....

Did some good at Joes'... got his scanner going, anyway, but I couldn't get the WIN95 protocol to work. Changing it made it want the WIN95 disk, then it couldn't find what it needed on the disk... O'well, we'll try again.

Went to the PO to get a MO to send to get my laptop... but they only take cash. The guy asked me if I had a debit card and why sure I do! So we used that... but it didn't like my PIN. So I had to go to the bank anyway. Got that done and came home to 100 emails... most of which I won't read because... I'm going to bed!
