Happy Star Wars Day all - May the 4th be with you! I am trying to ride the wave of epic heroism to get things done, while simultaneously staying in bed as much as possible since my 6th rib has decided to go on a journey from its normal home into the territory of Argh. I am pleased as punch that I have been deemed witty enough in my responses to one of the Onion editors that he is now following me.:) In a minute I shall brave the wild wet of Bethesda to go to Fed Ex/Kinkos and fax in my IRA rollover info. I r old.
