I have been around forever and a day. I have participated in many activities from their inception. Much of my life has been spent trying to keep up with that which was needed to stay up-to-date with pertinent issues. It has been becoming increasingly obvious that my time is nearing an end that requires passing the torch. I have now officially [seen](http://www.shibumi.org/eoti.htm) it all, and done a fair bit to boot. I don’t know whether to be happy or sad.

Well, CRAP! Now what do I do with the rest of my lunch hour?

Finally, I was getting kinda tired of all this myself — especially with [the kind of crap](http://www.compusmart.ab.ca/quarry/zcopy.gif)I have to put up with whenever I try to get my computer to do _anything_.

Wow! There’s actually an end. All I can say is, “It’s about damn time!”
