The things we do for amusement. I'll occasionally do something just for fun. I signed up with classmates.com way back when before they started charging for everything. No desire to pay at this point. It was amusing at the time. But I don't really see the point in paying for something like that. The few people from High School I still keep in contact with, 20 years later, I don't need that to talk to. I occasionally buy a lottery ticket, even though chances of winning are non-existent. I wait a couple weeks after the drawing and check to see how many numbers I get right. No more than 3 so far since I started doing it. A month ago I signed up with matches.com, one of those "meet your soulmate" websites but didn't feel like paying and just did the free listing part. So... once every couple days.. the computer that manages that list sends me a message with 10 people who, in theory, match my "search criteria". About all that seems to match is age-range (28-37) and location (somewhere within 100 miles). It's a strange way to meet people.... I'm sure I don't meet anyone else's criteria very well.. either. And I'm not sure I really want to. I was just curious (and bored and possibly tired of talking to myself that day) But, if I was even interested, I would have to pay to be able to send any of them a message. Someone out there must pay or they couldn't keep running. 1:18:55 AM    Notes [] How not to spend the week between Christmas and the new year. It snowed the evening of the 25th. Around here, jammed between the NH WHite Mountains and NH Lakes region, eight inches of snow fell. Points south and southeast saw a bit more but that's ok. It's the snow in my driveway that is keeping me busy. During a few spare moments of my day I'll go outside and tackle another section of snow. Hopefully I'll have it all cleared out by Monday so I can go to the post office and get some stamps. Fortunately, I work out of my home, and except for the post office I don't need to go anywhere for the next couple days. Now if only I can put all that time to good use and get my current needs to be done yesterday work project done on time. Progress seems to go in spurts on this particular project. The past couple of days were low productivity-wise but the next week has to be fairly high. I hope. Or it won't get done on time. Saturday morning will be a few hours of snow shoveling, some errands if I finish enough of the driveway to get out (It's over 100 feet x 6 foot wide x 8 inches deep of medium weight snow), vege for part of the afternoon, spend a couple hours getting back into "project mode" and spend Sunday catching up on what I didn't get done Thursday & Friday so on Monday I'll be back on track. 12:53:11 AM    Notes []
