And I will probably set up a database to keep track of everything,
most of which I will never refer to ever again.

Tea Geek!

Not that I ever set up a database to keep track of my tea experiences.
No way would I ever do that. Nor would I find a way of synchronizing
those databases with another database program on my Palm handheld
computer. I absolutely wouldn't do that.

Now, if you'll excuse me, my nose has recently enlarged itself quite
dramatically for some reason, and it is making it hard to see the
screen.

That's just what I'd do! Well, except for setting up the database in the
first place ;O)

I might have been a geek, if I weren't so very, very lazy.
