    For decades, of a Sunday evening, one of my favorite things to do has been to cue up side 2 of the Beatles Abbey Road and kind of drift off to sleep as the suite plays through towards the jangling coda of "Her Majesty" (which usually wakes me up just enough to remember to go shut off the tt).

    I go to bed feeling quite relaxed thereafter.

    Since I've retired, I find myself doing this less often than I used to -- mostly, I think, because nowadays Mondays aren't nearly as stressful as they used to be ;-)

    [Discussing the police ship]
    Marvin: That ship hated me.
    Ford: Ship? What happened to it? Do you know?
    Marvin: It hated me because I talked to it.
    Ford: You talked to it? What do you mean you talked to it?
    Marvin: Simple. I got very bored and depressed, so I went and plugged myself into its external computer feed. I talked to the computer at great length and explained my view of the universe to it.
    Ford: And what happened?
    Marvin: It committed suicide.

    Those are beautiful speakers and a great listening room! When I had Monday's off I felt like they were the best day of the week. Always the best weather, nothing bad happened, all the stores are empty because everyone is at work. Sounds like you're in heaven bud! I still have (hopefully) 41 years until I can retire. Unless I strike it big or the world ends. I'm happy either way.

    Well if that's the case friend why not ship all your gear to me? I mean you won't need it THAT much, just make sure to get 3 day ground so I can get it hooked up before we perish.

    In this case, I guess you only have to be right once...? :p

    I can't believe puss isn't censored!

    Don't keep the sock, it's easier to just throw it away when finished.
