Tell me about it. I was busy all day today. Okay, so I didn't get up
until almost 9 and didn't get out of the house until after 11. But I had
to drive into the city to drop off income tax paper, pick up a book at
the music store, go to the library and the cheese shop, then go home in
time to check email and newsgroups before getting cleaned up to go to a
dinner party. I was busy all day and was not bored for a single minute.
