Much better.

I have a plan.

There is a future, and a glorious present.

Things will change. Things must change. It is the very nature of things to change.

It's also the nature of people to die, but that is not a concern at the present.

Not a bad night, all things considered, and all things must be considered, it is foolish not to do so.

I didn't have to work all that hard and nobody died. I didn't even have to come in contact with any drunks. Drunks and people who die... the major things that I dislike about my job. Unfortunately, they are not frequently one and the same.

It's going to be a beautiful day, and I'm going to get some major work done today. I figger I can get another six hours out of this body, then a nap and Karen will waken me when she comes home.

That is today's plan.
