Another 365 Day Trip Around the Sun

It's raining. The Good Lord is taking care of me. He knew that I didn't want to mow the yard today. Once again you can hear wild animals prowling in the grass, but I am trying to take a day off. It's been a while. Besides, it's my birthday. No big deal, but I need to hang around and finish building a server anyway. So it's just a day not in the road instead of a true day off. With gas prices high it's like making money!

Back when the dinosaurs roamed freely outside this window a day off meant doing the couch potato dance and eating whatever was pleasing. Now it seems the most important thing in the fridge is unwilted lettuce and low fat dressing. My brother called in the middle of breakfast and relayed birthday greetings. Then Mother called with the same. Beagle messaged a happy birthday and sent a cute Ecard with a Star Trek theme. The Laundry Witch emailed with a invite to a margarita. And it's early.

All in all this may turn out to be an excellent day. The server is a multiple drive SCSI PC so that will be fun. Hey, it's just nice not to spend the day removing spyware. Besides I may sneak some Blue Plate Mayo on that unwilted lettuce. The rain is a mesmerizing drizzle now. Have a nice nap, uh uh day.
