Wow, Robert. Manju might be right. You seem to need a break. You seem too stressed out to be very rational about much.

I'm concerned that you might be damaging your health, particularly your mental health.

Maybe if you took a break for a few days, you know, take your wife on a vacation or something, you could figure out how to get off the "go slow" dime and actually come to some point about something. You talk about closure but never seem to even approach it even with small things.

I say this in a spirit of sincere concern for you, Bob.

Here's a story that's just as irrelevant as anything else posted here...

"The Talking Dog"

A guy sees a sign in front of a house: "Talking Dog for Sale." He rings the bell and the owner tells him the dog is in the backyard. The guy goes into the backyard and sees a black mutt just sitting there.

"You talk?" he asks.

"Yep," the mutt replies.

"So, what's your story?"

The mutt looks up and says, "Well, I discovered this gift pretty young and I wanted to help the government, so I told the CIA about my gift, and in no time they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping. I was one of their most valuable spies eight years running.

The jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger and I wanted to settle down. So I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security work, mostly wandering near suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings there and was awarded a batch of medals. Had a wife, a mess of puppies, and now I'm just retired."

The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog.

The owner says, "Ten dollars."

The guy says, "This dog is amazing. Why on earth are you selling him so cheap?"

The owner replies, "He's such a liar. He didn't do any of that stuff."

Drabbles: A drabble is a story of EXACTLY

one hundered words,

not including the title.

It's harder than you might think, and they are addictive.

An Example : http://members.tripod.com/~jetcmonkee/dribble_drabble.htm

Any MD drabbles for the board guys?
