But okay, I'll stop the bemoaning. Although the hand-wringing may take more time.

> And, it seems that you got in bed around midnight, central standard time (which is Babble's best hour of the day, by the way). Wasn't that one of your goals a few days ago?---It is Babble's best hour, but it's actually 1 am here on the mouth of the Hudson. Although I did get to sleep by about 1:30 am, which is pretty good.

> I'm so glad that the Daily Show brought back enough faith in the TV as medium and entertainment that you were able to keep it on an additional half hour. That's wonderful.Yeah, the Daily Show helps with the two-hour television minimum and has restored my faith in humanity. That plus the Colbert Report. I got HBO a few days ago, and other than a silly but rather entertaining potboiler about Saladin's conquest of Jerusalem, there's nothing on there. I can give you a list of about 20 bad movies I'd never heard of before, though.

> All in all, a pretty good day. I envy you for having Cable.No Cable?????!!! You poor poor suffering Childe. No wonder the druggist was afraid to fill your prescriptions. People suffering from cable-deprivation are notoriously easily infuriated. You must get cable hookup. You don't want to miss Project Runway, do you? Or Countdown with Keith Olbermann? or or um--well the Daily Show and Colbert R, and oh yeah, Blade: the Series (Grrrrr, crash, bang, clattter, huhhuhHUH, moan, fssst, bang, eeeeeee!-- yeah, it;s mostly sound-effects with some good fake blood puddles)?
> Can you do your exercises before you do anything else in the morning? Get it out of your way, so that the rest of the day will start off on the right (left?) foot?---Great suggestion, ll. I'm going to follow you advice. Gee, you're a whiz.
> ta ta,
> -ll

> Oh yeah-- one of your goals, hypothetically, could be a resolution to set more affirming and attainable goals. Just a thought...Oh. Yah. That. Good point. I'll work on it while doing my exercises.
So my goals for today,
1. do exercises, before work at 2:30
2. read for 45 minutes, today
3. get into bed by 11:15 pm EDT. (Even if I will miss out on the apex of Babbleonia. (sigh))Gosh, ll, you're great! thanks.
