Sitting at home in my skivvies all day

I've been laid off! Seems like a good time to start this Blog proper. That's right folks, I'm outta work. Been that way since last monday. We had about an hour notice. The last week has been an interesting one. All sorts of things…

Guestbook

I added a Guest book feature to the site.  I’m very curious to know who checks the site out.  Please add an entry for me.  It’s very easy and only takes a moment to do it.  And if you actually check out the journal…
