I am not big on e-mail chain letters but I shall confess that there are a few people who send me classic ones. Marz is one such person.

I am also not too keen that I am uni-lingual. Most of my closer friends are, at least, bi-lingual and I feel that us Americans are a bit arrogent when we mandate that the whole world speak our language.

It also bothers me when I see that a local corner store announces it's obtainment of a liquir liscence by putting up a sign that says "We sale beer now". Nonetheless, there is some humor in eveeything.

Below is something from Marz. Dziękuję. Tęskniłem za Tobą.

Just in time for the big gift giving holiday

• I like this laptop by Benjamin J. Heckendorn

• I know Grinny will never go for it but how about a kewl theme wedding
• These slippers have some serious geek apeal
• This convention has passed but, based on the theme, I should still beable to attend
• and while your at it why not get me a dance floor

Okay angel, you wanted to see these here.

AND

You are the most. Smile, for that is a wonderful grin you have.

I mentioned yesterday that it was going to be "one of those days". First of all, before I forget something else, I would like to thank Gnimsh for the encouragement.

For the record, yesterday definitely was one of those days. Today, the saga continues, with the day of forgetting everything. I left my cell phone, my brain and other things actually of values at home.

I am, as Grinny would say, one big chicken head today.

Today started with a head cold, chest congestion and hot coffee being spilt all over myself and the nice powder blue carpet. Let's not mention how last night ended. Prayers and thoughts please.
