Notes

I almost decided to take the day off today and not write anything here. Well, I DID decide to do that, then I decided to NOT do that... I didn't want to break the string of days that I've got built up.

Although I know, and so does everyone else, that that's totally meaningless.

Or maybe not.

Anyway, I stayed up way too late last night, and we all (Karen, Brian and I) got up at about 09:00. Karen and the kids (she had them all at various times today) had a full day planned, and I planned to be very peripheral.

And that worked out all right. I loaded up some games on Karen's machine for the kids, and they pretty much left me alone...

I've been getting enthusiastic about MP3s lately... a lot of albums/CDs that I wouldn't buy because they only had one song on them that I liked... I can just get that one song. For free, if you don't count connect time. There's a lot of stuff that I don't know about it yet, but I'm in the process...

Come to think of it, there are a lot of albums/CD that I DID buy that only have one or two songs that I like on them. I've almost figgered out how to make the MP3s from them.

I baked a loaf of bread today, and put some chicken in the crock-pot, thinking that Brian would be eating with us, but then we got a surprise... Brian wanted to spend the night with Drew and Garyn! So Karen and I had an unexpected night to ourselves. And we were too tired to do anything, so she watched TV and I was in here on the machine.

I have really felt much better today, but I still didn't get anything done... but it was by choice. For one thing, it's really hard to do stuff with kids running around... all parents know that... and the other thing was... I felt like being lazy. And I pretty much enjoyed the day, and so did Karen, but chasing after kids wears her out.

And damn! It's gotten late! I went to bed for a while, but I couldn't sleep... I had a large chocolate malt for dessert, and my stomach is paying the price, I guess. Time to try it again, anyway...


Thanx for being here!
