tired but doing well today. feeling better despite the knot under my shoulder blade. ah, such is life.

had a good time hanging out with an old friend of mine last night. it has been years since we�ve had a chance to just sit & talk. spent last night doing just that� just shooting the shit & catching up on the past six years. one of the more relaxing evenings i�ve had in a while (but they seem to be happening more often now.) it was nice to reconnect & catch-up, nice to realize that the friendship is still there after so much time.

sometimes life is just good to you that way.

*******

spent the morning in meetings. there are parts of my job that i just love. meetings are not one of those parts. took everything in me not to fall asleep in the middle of it. God bless coffee.

*******

spending tonight with my friend lea rebuilding my hard drive. well, to be more exact, lea will be rebuilding my hard drive while we talk & i make coffee.

in her words, she will be making my computer �her bee-itch�.

lea has this way with computers� she waves the chicken bones & gives the hard drive the evil eye & things just start working again. i am amazed when people can do things like that. there are very few things that i am good at & i have a healthy respect for people who can raise certain talents to an art. i feel that way about my writing; i think i�m in a groove� then i read sou or tony or one of thirty other people who rock my world & think, �well, i�ve got a lot of work to do.�

it is not a bad thing. hey, most people i know can�t clean an armor to save their lives. we all have talents, the key is knowing what your talents are & then doing something with them.

now me, i like to write, but i have a talent for hosting & cleaning armor & drinking coffee. if i could get those things to make me money i would be golden.

*******

time to call it a day.
hope you all have a good night.
more tomorrow.

be well.

THIS JUST IN�.
ohmyGod!!! someone stole my idea & i can�t stop laughing. very silly. (but i�m happy with the result)
