RE: In other weekend activity...

Oh yeah, I have a day job. I often fantasize about how much I'd get done
if I were home all day. It probably is a fantasy though, I would have to
work hard against the temptation to be on the computer or read books all
day.
On the plus side, I can retire in 7 years, and then I'll find out just
how much I get done. :-)

Cyndi, do you work outside the home?  I read your e-mails sometimes and
think "dang, I have a farm too but I SO don't have time to do all that
and
work a full time job".  If I stayed home...I'd be a whirling dervish at
my
place.
