So I have accidentally figured out a way to log on and post from work. Supposedly our filters and firewalls prevent us from accessing message boards and blogs. But here I sit in beautiful downtown Perry FL posting from my laptop. Nice. Longe live the first ammendment. To hell with the "no expectation of privacy" doctrine.

 so this is what the young people are so excited about.  yawnz.  what about our rich cultural tradition of picking people up in bars?

so there

Why is it a beautiful Saturday morning and I am sitting in my office?  I suppose, given the choice, I would rather work more days and shorter hours.   I just hope my clients appreciate that I have no life.  Not really, but it sure feels that way.  Maybe this is just purgatory.  With coffee.  Which for some reason reminded me that I watched a network TV special on the Sistine Chapel.  Seems there is a new book that purports Michelangelo was so P.O.'ed at Pope Julius (Il Papa Terrible) that he hid messages of derision into the frescoes.  Oh figs!  What I really want to say is that before they plant me, I want to see Rome.  Maybe right after Galway and Dublin :-).  Then Florence, Naples, Palermo, Athens, Barcelona, Lisbon, Amsterdam, Munich, Frankfurt, Berlin, Hamburg, Basel, Geneve, and Luxembourg.
