To expand on my previous blast re: "Time is too precious", I have come to the decision to take some time away from the social internet scene. Work demands along with a fairly active personal social life leave me with virtually no extra time. There are so many things in life that I want to experience, so many places to travel to, so many books need to be read, plays to be seen, athletics to partake in......everything requires one's time. And, as most of you are already aware, to be a fairly active participant on the social internet is very time consuming (especially when one is such a slow/poor typist as myself)....time taken away from that needed to do many of the things previously mentioned....a little bit here....a little bit there...it all adds up. So, in conclusion, it's time to move on for a while....may be back soon...maybe later rather then soon...maybe never. My sails are up.....let's see where the wind takes me.

Love and best wishes (oxoxo) to all,

Rick

Well another weekend is here....hopefully it will be the last full weekend I have to work for awhile. One project is out the door; and, the finishing aspect of a second one is on schedule. Being the optimist that Iam regarding the completion of the work, I just booked Savannah for next weekend....well actually, for four nights (Fri-Mon.). I love to visit Savannah (though I don't think I could live there all year round). I enjoy it's laid back southern feel, it's city parks, great restaurants.....one can party till they drop or just relax. I know what you're saying..."Savannah in August"...but, the heat seldom bothers me....besides I have a suit made out of linen that I've never worn ( for some God forsaken reason I had it made when I was in Hong Kong). You know the fabric that I mean...the kind that always looks like you slept in it the minute you put it on. So if you happen to be strolling along Factor's Walk or River Street; and, you see a guy in a sorry assed, white, wrinkled , Casablanca suit...that's me....trying to look fashionable....but not even close to pulling it off. The rest of the time....you may find me laying on the grass in Forsyth Park ....not far from the big fountain with the nautical theme....only this time I'll be in shorts and a t-shirt. If , however, I am laying there, still in my lousy linen suit (following a heavy night of partying), kindly see to it that I get back to my hotel. Please don't think that my trip will be entirely frivolous ...no indeed....along a more serious vein...I plan on roaming the darken streets at night looking for the ghost of Jim Williams. Once found, I shall solemnly toast to his untimely demise.

Another weekend is fast approaching.....let's see what should I plan?...fun, adventure, or just some pure relaxation. Hmmm...where should I go?....near home or far away. Oh yeah, I forgot about one thing....I HAVE TO WORK! No fun, no adventure, no travel...just work...and more work. My boss is a slave driver.....wait a minute...I am the boss....well then I suck too!
