So this is not exactly ground breaking news. The last couple of weeks I have been in a major funk…depression set in. Well, I have had my new computer for almost 3 weeks now and about the only thing I have done with it is setting it up for the internet. A few programs here and there, but nothing like my old machine. Well, today I finally set up my two computer peer-to-peer network. Ah, it’s such a small thing since that’s what I do for a living, but it gave me a little ego boost. I’m not a total loser 🙂 What the most productive thing you have done this week? \< time to run down and get some beer, beers for everyone! \> ---

The answer if my boss asks the question: I will have that document done by the close of business today, just like I said I would. The answer if my wife asks the question: I know you’ve had a hard week. (She really has!) Let me take you someplace nice for dinner. The real answer: I bought a new guitar! A 12-string! It’s great. I can’t wait to spend all weekend noodling around on it! * * * “I used to think the brain was the most important organ in the body, until I realized who was telling me that.” Emo Phillips ---

I used paperclips to ground my wheelchair so I don’t get shocked anymore! Woo HOO! I’ve been talking about this one all day, I’m just so deliriously happy 🙂 Simple minds, simple pleasures. * * * “I hope life isn’t a big joke, because I don’t get it,” Jack Handy [The Kat House](http://members.aol.com/gr8kat1/KatGen/home.htm) [Join the FSH Muscular Dystrophy Webring](http://members.aol.com/gr8kat1/KatGen/fshwebring.htm) ---

1. I did finish the document on time. 2. I did get to take Mrs. Pluto to a nice place for dinner. 3. I _could_ be playing my new guitar right now but I’m typing on this stupid board. How’s that for addicted? ---

It’s okay Pluto…in chat I got the idea to load an old Win 3.1 game…Loderunner. OH, and it works in Win98, I was shocked! Now I am in chat again, but will probably return to Loderunner later 🙂 ---

## Today I took back all of our returnable bottles and walked out with over $40. In Michigan, there is a 10 cent refund per can. Yep, that’s right, over 400 cans were returned today, and I still have at least two garbage bags full of cans left to return.
