It's been fun to read about your happiness of late.<BR/><BR/>bo, that's funny! He must have some spectacular farts if you mistook firecrackers for one. Or else they were wimpy firecrackers. <BR/><BR/>u-u, ain't it great? (the internet thing, not the batty MIL.)<BR/><BR/>sari, i love that movie! We have the subtitled version of all his movies, or at least most of them. Check out Princess Mononoke.<BR/><BR/>platypus, thank you ma'am.<BR/><BR/>nancy, you are welcome to use that adjective. It's a good one. Where i used to work we would say that you could tell an extroverted accountant because he would look at your shoes instead of his own when talking to you.

Great word.<BR/><BR/>I started running again, this past week. It makes me feel better because a) I'm not any kind of an athlete at all and b) because I started BEFORE new years, I don't have to hold it to myself as a resolution, I do it because I want to. <BR/><BR/>Also, congratulations on the quitting of the smoking. I used to smoke and quitting was the hardest thing I ever did, I have huge props for all who try to quit!!<BR/><BR/>We got Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (it's an animated Miyazaki movie) and one of the main characters is voiced by Patrick Stewart. Sigh. He has such a wonderful voice, I've always loved it.<BR/><BR/>And now, after this novel, I leave you with a happy day wish!sarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16144333694009700155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306964.post-1167765769562511432007-01-02T11:22:00.000-08:002007-01-02T11:22:00.000-08:00Happy New Year Meno!

So I am annoyed, not worried, when the phone rings early in the morning.<BR/><BR/>Your blog and your encouragement was signal in my decision to keep my blog. I find a lot to think about in your amusing meanderings about your life, and it makes me want to share some of my meanderings.
