I’m taking the day off from work today.  It feels good.  I think I’m going to do fuck-all nothing.  I have appointments at 8 (AM – ugh), 2, and 3:30, for an oil change, haircut, and a tune-up for my meat suit, respectively.  In between, I might go shopping for some incense.  Most likely, though, I’ll just sit around in the sun and read.

Maybe I’ll just say effit and buy a netbook too.  I’ve been eyeballing them for a while and the conclusion to which I’ve come is that it doesn’t matter all that much which one I get.  As long as I’m comfortable with the keyboard and it has a wi-fi built in, I really don’t think I’m savvy enough to know the difference among the other features.

Sure the new Acer model that’s supposed to be coming out in August looks nice – dual boot, windows and google’s Chrome OS, but that’s bound to be wicked expensive.  I figure I can get what I need for about four Franklins.

I’ll be mailing off my tally sheet to the Catskill 3500 Club, and probably my notice to the Adirondack 46ers that I’d like to join their club as well.  That’s going to be tough – some of those mountains are 4 hours away.

Check out my Peakbagger page if you’re interested in seeing the mountains I’ve climbed so far.  Here’s the front-runners list for the 3500 Club peaks as well – notice it says “Complete!” next to my name.  Pretty sweet. 

I gotta tell you, dear reader, I’m a pretty happy camper overall.  Things have been good lately.  I’m sure that a big part of that is that I’ve been hiking lately.  I need the exercise – it levels out my brain chemistry.

So, apologies for the short post, but I’m beat and need to get up earlier than I do on a work-day.

Question for you, dear reader:  When I include links in these posts, they’re set up to open in a different window.  Is that cool or a pain in the ass?  Would you prefer that I set the links to open in the same window (you’ll jump from my page to wherever the link goes – not a separate tab, though)?

Oh, and before I forget (again) to put together an entire post, please click
