Okay, Jim, so I get that you have 3 hours to "kill" (hope your wife has a successful surgery by the way) but I missed the part about precisely where you get a day off? Man, I am RETIRED. I take days off in bunches! Granted, I do DO things. But they are things I want to do and like to do mostly, and that includes caregiving, working for the Red Cross one day a week, and doing household chores, etc. But if I had the pain you deal with on a daily basis, I think I'd take a true break-day, or many break-days if possible. Play a little FreeCell or something. Jim, I find some of the things you mention about your life, both past and present, a bit awe inspiring. But sometimes you've got to stop and actually SMELL the roses, not just plant them and weed around them and put a bag of mulch on them, etc. etc. etc.

(I am just ribbing you). Have a great day. Or at least a less busy one. 😉
