Fiscal year-end rawks! >:|
Was out the door before the moon set. The birds were just getting up. At my desk by 6:30AM, worked through lunch, and on 'till I was called home at 5:30PM. Got a. settled with a story (he read it), so I could go out and do some groceries. Tidied a LOT with A's help, and discussed future decor projects.

Getting the most (constructive) bang for your buck

When the disabled beat the abled it's time to change the rules?
Interesting article about when a "disabled" athlete is deemed to have an unfair advantage over able-bodied opponents due to technology. Brings up issues of ethics, prejudice, politics, and privilege.
