Hey now.

1) I'm much less angry when I have less work to do. Stress brings out the fury in me, and it is not pretty. The last two months have been most stress-free in a long while. Cheers.

2) Despite being a shareholder of Sirius satellite radio since like 2006 (which is pretty sad if you know the history of the stock), I have never been a subscriber ... until now. Finally caved, signed up, and it is awesome.

3) Starting right now, I'm trying as hard as I can to save money for the next few months, which means not buying all the gadgets I want, like wifi security cameras, new monitors, internet radio players and other junk I don't need.

4) Who wants to start a vineyard with me?
