On the fringe...

I wasn't sure what to say today.  It was a bit different.  I started out the day on a new project, which was given to someone else by 9:00.  What a relief.  It was a dog, and I was too busy anyway.  Then I battled my way into getting something else to be successful.  Unfortunately, I missed a very warm and beautiful day outside.  Oh well.


My tooth broke again, as well.  By the time I get to the dentist on Monday, I'll only have a root left!

Tomorrow, I'm going to spend doing documentation.  This is normally boring, but I'm looking forward to it....


Boy, the market sure tanked again.  I know now that barring some extraordinary occurrence, I will be working until I'm dead!


Season finale on Fringe tonight!  I hope it answers more than the new questions it will ask...

Old songs rewritten

Re-released Baby Boomers’ Classics:

Mrs. Brown, you’ve got a lovely walker
You can’t always pee when you want
I heard it through my hearing aid
Talkin’ ‘bout my medication
Bald thing!
How can you mend a broken hip?
I can’t see clearly now
Papa got a kidney stone
Denture Queen
You make me feel like napping
A Whiter shade of hair
Once, twice, three trips to the washroom
