Aint that the truth? Now, I've become too accustomed to taking WAY too much
time. <-;

After the summer of self abuse - at least semi-accidental as it was - to this
fall of trying to keep the new flooring from punching a hole through the old
flooring, and now that I've slept through a twelve hour night recovering from
the "holidays"... I need a holiday to recover from the holiday!

I mentioned here that my MD has me on an anti-inflammatory, which only seems to
inflame my discomfort? Shoot... As *if* I could keep from running 'fdisk' more
than my modem! 



 AH>           Q.  (from Ardith)  Where are you going?
 AH>           A.  (from Dallas)  Crazy.  Care to come along?

 AH> I did, and we're still together umpteen years later... [ROTFL].

Viva la pain in the butt! 

Pre-HS graduation, I was more likely to answer, "...'Round in circles. Gonna
fly high, like a bird up in the sky."

With todays realism, I'm more apt to, "...Into a ditch. Don't push me, unless
you want to join me." No wonder I'm single. <-|

No, I was playing on the theme. 

Likely, my auto "Take the first spell-checked suggestion" reflex
guessed wrong
that time. But I'll officially blame it on the theme of this post. 

 JB>  I thought I'd cause some more trouble hear.


 AH>           Ah, "hyacinths for the soul!"  Glad you did....  :-))

Gee... Maybe I *was* playing to the theme. (Now, *I'm* starting to wonder.)

Bottom line is, I should reply to mail before I forget what a smart-mouth I was
trying to be. 

As you might have gathered, I have a second machine on the Linux work-bench
right now, with all sorts of hardware quandaries. I have about fifteen
different flavours of the OS to toy with. Just about *exactly* the square
footage of flooring to cover my main level... ... ...

I'll be back as soon as I need to recover from exhaustion again, but for the
time, I'll try to get to the rest of your volley to me.
