Hello all, Happy Lunar New Year! Rats! You know what that means? Tics carrying the Plague, the Black Death, SARS, etc. Well, let's hope not. I guess I need to turn of the Discovery Channel, eh? This blog is meant to be a few of my thoughts and reflections on life...etc. This week, I'm on vacation and it's great mental hygene that I so desperately need. The wife is feeling achy and I'm a little frisky. It's nice to have some time off. Lately, I've been getting into photography in a weird and wonderful way. Doing photo-editing on both Photoshop CS2 and PhotoImpact 12. (The latter, you can download and get 1 free month. You can even do a mentor program and learn how to use the toys. It's awesome!) My New Year's resolution: Get my butt to a gymn and lose the baby hanging from my gut. Need to drink more herbals teas and less of that whiskey seed. (I actually seldom drink at all, really.) life is good. Enjoying a busman's holiday. Would rather be in Thailand, but the wife sez: "Honey, we've got to be frugal!" The band are trying to get a little direction and start mtoring on down the road. It is both rewarding and frustrating. Thanks for checking in. I'll think of something more to say on another day. Cheers! Yvon
