Anybody want to buy land in Costa Rica?

I suppose I shouldn't be overly surprised...

So, I got up this morning and checked my e-mail, as I usually do. Here's what I found:

I'm so so sorry, but my friend spent the night in the ER and she asked me to stay with her. I just got home and I'm very tired. Can we have dinner tonight or sometime this week?

So, I've got a lunch date tomorrow...

Yes, there are still some things one can get for free.

Oy!  This I'm familiar with!

So, I just got an e-mail from my lawyer.  You know, the one who did my divorce just over a year ago?   Well, some time back I did some work on their website, Affordable Houston Divorce Attorney, and fired off a bill to them.  They just got it and got things organized and a check is "in the mail".  Naturally, things are tight all over, so I'm very familiar with this phrase, but, mainly because I say it so often!

I have a dream.

It is a simple dream. No, not winning the lottery, or world peace, or the perpetual motion engine, or even a mythical trip to the Playboy Mansion. No, my dream is that I might get through an entire task without interruption, distraction, mishap, mayhem, or... Sorry, lost my train of thought because the dog started barking at something outside. Now, where was I?

Yarr, today be International Talk Like A Pirate Day, me blog maties!

A little Friday Fun for the big kid in all of us.

Ahem.

Well, I got quite a surprise this morning. I opened my mail and there was a note from "G_______ @ aol . com". That girl I knew in college. I think it's best if I edit myself and not let loose with what I really said, for a change, but I was quite rather stunned. It'd been so long since I sent her the e-mail that I thought I'd never hear from her. I figured that the e-mail address was wrong or that she'd decided she didn't want to hear from me or... Well, it doesn't really matter what I thought, since she e-mailed back.

Today, I bring you an actual technical tip.
