"Door will be opening ..."; "Got your tool belt with you?"; Sampras on Santa's lap; Yahoo and Excite ads; "tux and a lisp"

Today's fortune cookie from Golden Dragon said, "Doors will be opening for you in many areas of your life." Hot Damn! It's about time!

Somewhere or other, I think I've mentioned that an annex is under construction where I work. I walked out this afternoon to have a look. After a few minutes trying to guess where my new office might be, a young construction worker with beard, hard hat and tight jeans, walked by and said, "Got your tool belt with you?." My life flashed before my eyes. Within nanoseconds I thought of every reply from "How big does it have to be?" to "I'm never without it." However, discretion is the better part of valor, so I settled for, "Just trying to figure out where my office is gonna be." Of course, I did dally just a bit to watch him climb up the ladder to the second level.

Yahoo magazine has an interesting ad for Nike on the back cover. It shows Pete Sampras sitting on Santa's lap looking as if he's trying to think of what he wants for Christmas. I immediately began wondering where I'd stored my Santa suit.

I went back to the personals on Yahoo and Excite last night. Personals are intriguing on a number of different levels. You could take them on face value. Or you could look for patterns in the wording. Is there more interest in one thing than another? Are you could wonder who places what type of ads. After about thirty minutes of wandering back and forth, I opted to place one at both locations. Now I'm very curious to see what will happen. Especially since I'm not interested in the one-night-stand type of situation. I just want to meet someone, see what happens and go from there. However, since many of the ads are so sexual in nature, it may be that the one nighter is the expected and accepted. Gads, I hope there is some truth in the fortune cookie.

Watched "Will and Grace" earlier. Some really great lines. Will bets Jack he can do his job. Jack says he can't. Will retorts, "A monkey could do your job, if he had a tux and a lisp."

PAX!
