so, i took the what famous leader are you? quiz yesterday. the first time i took it i ended up with Hitler. the second time i took it i ended up with Mother Teresa. i took it again this morning & ended up with Bill Clinton. this leads me to believe that Bill Clinton is the halfway mark between Hitler & Mother Teresa.

do you have a better theory?

went through the pieces i pulled for the book last night to come up with a final selection. i have 17 entries for the book, 9 of them poems.(down from 32 entries) may end up trimming one or two more pieces, but i think it is a good selection. now i need to go through them all again & do some editing. hoping to have it ready to layout by the weekend.

the cold keeps coming & going� one moment i feel fine & the next moment i�m congested or achy. my back is still sore from the fall the other day, but feeling a bit better. i�m hoping that a few more days of taking it easy will help me get back on track. have to see what the next few days bring.

the last few weeks of the year at work are a mish-mash of trying to wrap up as many projects as you can while spending whatever is left in your budget & using up whatever vacation & personal time you still are owed� all while still taking care of the day-to-day business.

sometime between now & the end of next week all of these goals will conflict on a grand scale & things around here will get very interesting. holiday stress & edged weapons make a great combination.
