You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I can't be one once we go to the court room, but there is free wireless in the holding area for jurors! But it is sort of a miracle-- technology gets more and more amazing. We may have our flying cars soon!

David, I am sorry you feel ick.

The other super neat thing is remote desktop to work. I don't have any of the programs I use at work on my computer, but I can totally use InDesign and Photoshop and Access!

Get better, Hec.

Exception ~ma msbelle!

Interesting, it looks like TARP losses may only end up being $42 billion (only in government spending terms could that be called only).

TARP may not be popular or ideal, but it seems to have worked. I find it humorous that this success of the Bush administration is one of the things that Bush now says he regrets.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Where are you sending flowers to, Dana? If it's Eastern Washington, my brother might be able to hook you up.

No, it's elderly relatives in a couple of different places. There's just not a lot of stuff you can buy for 95-year old women, you know?

Happy Birthday, Typo Boy.

Marketing question: If I say I have more than 30 years of experience, do you think "Wow, she's qualified" or "Wow, she's old"?

Huh, the house passed a financial reform bill and I didn't even know about it. I feel out of touch. I wonder if it's me or if it just isn't much press. Every Republican voted against it, naturally.
