Yes, the plans definitely went well. The kids were gone the whole weekend; no one bothered us but the pizza delivery guy. 😃 As for the kneepads…ah, honey, even if you could catch it, you couldn’t ride it 🆒 HEY!! [hijack] I went looking for card rooms in Boston at [this link](http://www.cardplayer.com), and couldn’t find ANY!! No one plays poker out there?[hijack] Glad to hear you’re keeping everything up front (no pun intended) with Sherri. After-break-up sex isn’t necessarily healthy, but sounds like you’re trying to veer away, anyway. ---

Seems so fine, to be able to post my First triple digit post, here, in a **D.Bear** thread, getting to flirt with a lovely lady who’d like me to get her Way drunk … I’d like to thank All the little people who’ve made this possible … Ok, ok, so it’s only 100 posts! But, Hey, live for today! Not EVEN enough about me, just to continue this lovely hijack, I’m out nestled between Pleasant Hill and Martinez, under the main flight path for the airport, in a lovely area that cannot get DSL or Cable Modem … but that rumor has it, WILL be able to get High Speed Cable sometime in the next 6 months!

good to see you so chirpy this morning, Davebear…you’ll have to give me a few minutes to catch up, as there was faaaarrr too much weekend goin’ on, and…ah yes. I did actually post that. Hm. Seemed amusing at the time. K. Add Purple Nurples to the drinks I must nevereverever have again. At least, not in excess. And bed at 3am is far too late for a 6:30am wakeup call.

3 hours and 30 minutes of sleep? Ouch… I’d be a zombie after such an ordeal. Then again, I always needed my 9 hours of sleep, unlike so many other people I know who get by with a mere 6 hours. ---

four hours is my bare-bones minimum. But, we had an early start today. I’ve only got two patients this morning, and as soon as they’re done, I think I am too. One of the lab techs just told me that there are raccoons out there who’d pay good money to get their eyes to look like mine. Anyway; D’bear. C’mon. Monday version. Update. Sorry.

See what interesting stuff the mind can come up with on 3 1/2 hours of sleep? Lorene is probably intelligent enough to know we were just playing. And I did NOT diss you.
