Really? If I go for a couple of days without a bath, I start to get
very aromatic! The only time I do not take a bath is when I am sick
and I know I will not be going out at all that day.

I am thankful I am alive at this time. I can lay in bed and post messages
like this with my Powerbook via my wi-fi service while I prepare for
a talk I plan to give this Saturday on computer programming on the Mac.
Life is good!
