Will be off only one day this weekend then I start a 9 day cycle--tomorrow being an overtime day which will help with Dan's birthday. Skipped Barnes and Nobels simply becasue they like a deposit on layaway and I don't have rapport with them -- (translation the clerks turn over so rapidly only the redhead (with glasses) knew me and SHE left a year ago no one knows me as Mr. He Will Pick It Up When He Says He Will).

Did drop by the Bookery and straightend out Jim's box--he had a slew ...

I guess I should really give a brief introduction so people kind of know what I'm about, or at least my brief background

But I had a little headache now and then on and off for the rest of the day.
I can't think of much else to say now. I felt rather tired all day. Also my alarm didn't go off this morning, even though it was ...

I fear that I have an odd fascination with notebook paper, my dear friends, and I'm not quite sure when it began, (perhaps it was when I was a child and I bought an ugly binder in a yard sale simply because it had a ream of loose-leaf in it and was only one dollar!) but it sprang up on me again today and beat out my eco-conservative side in the battle of "Whether to Buy New Notebooks or Re-Use Old Ones."
