Wah-doo-di-li-doo-wah!

As of a few seconds ago, the plate was officially cleared!

Whereupon, free as the proverbial bird, I am proceeding to get dressed for public consumption and bike to the store.

Fortunately, the wind is not blowing as strongly as it was yesterday (when it howled incessantly and distracted me from the work at hand).

Speaking, BTW, of biking, I neglected to mention that two days ago, while biking home, I felt chipper enough to take on the second of three major uphills in what I describe internally as "the Last Quarter Mile," and made it! (The day I actually start at the bottom of that section and make it all the way to the top and home without stopping is the day I might consider walking up to Lance Armstrong and scuffing up his shoes.)

Enough lollygagging!

Cheers...
