1) The Number 10,000 written as a roman numeral is an X with a line above it.

1. if I had a pick a word to describe my mood/feeling today it would have to be 'recovery'
2. There's a nice bluegrass song by the Seldom Scene playing in my head right now
3. woke up at 3:00 with a trash nightmare and couldn't get back to sleep
4. 'Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner' is a better title for the song than the tune actually delivers IMHO
5. Time to listen to some Warren Zevon, I guess.....awoooooo werewolves in London...(would anyone care to comment on what they think Warren was singing about in that tune?)

1. I think werewolves are just part of the London party scene
2. I also think about the Coyotes when I hear the song - good games!
3. Today is a no RJ Friday

Need a planner? Why not Dvd?

4. Not likely.
5. Friends coming over for dinner and drinks tonight. Hope none of them is judgmental about housecleaning standards.
- I got a lot done this week at work
- Day 5 of my cleanse is going great
- no gluten, beans, refined sugars, red meat/pork (unless it's fresh from a farm), dairy
- Nervous about my 25 mile bike trek tomorrow
- Am not as in good shape as last year
1. I love reading about all of your days. I don't know why that is, but I do.
2. Daughters recently talked me into getting an instagram account, and I've enjoyed it thus far.
3. This led to discussion about Twitter, which led to a decision to get the Pauline Botchko dummy a twitter account so she can regale the void with her opinions. I said I'd do it if they'd help write.
4. I should be happier, things are pretty good this week, but there's a pensive melancholia settling in....
5. ...it's probably the Coldplay coming over the speakers....."Questions of science, science and progress, do not speak as loud as my heart...."
"...I would never try to tick Hink off. He kinda intimidates me. He's quite butch, you know." - Maister
1. Too much to accomplish in one day.
2. Knocked out a bid proposal in 45 minutes. Sometimes I impress myself.
3. Our server is infected with an annoying virus, nothing that eats files or surfs pron.
4. A second person in my department turned in her notice. I am happy for her.
5. Is it sad that I am looking forward to getting a "new to me" desk since cubicles are being installed in an office downstairs. It's an old school steel desk from the 60s or 70s. Much better than they cheapy chinese made one I have now.

The Twitter world will be a better place with Ms. Botchko in it!!
