1. I shall be brutally honest: I LOVE being unemployed. I love it. I am planning to stay unemployed until at least May. I am not kidding. I will start to look for a job when I get back from Hilton Head on 2/20, but I won't pursue it very vigorously. I just have a lot to do, a lot I want to get done.

( Cut to save your f-list. Alert: minor Who blathering, but no spoilers. )

It's been a while since I've posted. There's been a lot going on.
