Monitor,

Monitor, tell me who is the hardest working part-time administrator at UW. And I'd say, your answer better be, "You Sirree! No doubt about that."

I've only been staring at you for 6 hours straight. I mean, I'm about to quit this whole work thing and go on vagabonding. There's got to be some country out there that I haven't come to feel negatively about, right? One would think, all this traveling should have opened my horizons, broadened my field of aspirations, wouldn't you say? Then why am I feeling so intensely frustrated these days? Anyway, I am ready to take off -at least for today, and I guess tomorrow is another day.

As for the stars... Who knows, I've been too busy with this snow thing that hit Madison last night. But, just wait a second. Ah, here we go: It seems that the moon was in Virgo, which isn't a bad place for the moon, in general.

That was then, and as for now, well... the moon is in between signs heading toward Scorpio, and that, my dear friends, would entail great possibilities for huge drama, emotional turmoil, frustration, bad-decision making -please avoid buying anything too expensive you couldn't return later, and make sure not to begin anything new, or make plans, at least until Wednesday afternoon.

So here you have it, unsupported claims and warnings, which I stand behind as firmly as only a madman, or a fool, would.

Finally, have you noticed how much talk there's been concerning piracy and lack of governance in Somalia. I'm actually compelled to believe that we are being prepared for some action in that region, which coincidentally enough, happens to be very close to Saudi Arabia -again. But then again, what do I know?

Be well, stretch your back, breathe like you mean it, and let's not think about how much of a donation we've made toward Citi Group this week.

Tense and joyful
