Well, it's been absolutely crazy over the past few days, and it's really been a lot of fun. I shouldn't admit it, but I just made a guitar purchase... that Fender DG-22CE in gorgeous Cherry Red is a joy to behold and also playable for even the cack handed fool that I am. I feel I have a reasonable deal on it, and I need it for the weekend (makes crooning noises in the direction of Mark).

I lost weight in my premature weekly weigh in - no time for weighing tomorrow. I've done a -1, which gives me the -35 aggregate. I can't help but feel I'm merely oscillating around a situation of not changing. Never mind. Maybe I'll find time to do something energetic before next week - that may help.

CB, you're genuinely an inspiration.
