I really do live here - perhaps not permanently, but I do. I know because I have friends who know that I am less than perfect and not always happy, but who are my friends anyway. Deep thanks go to Calum, who joined me for dinner even though he doesn't like Indian food, Steve, who scolded me for not calling him earlier, and many, many others who would have undoubtedly picked me up, dusted me off and set me on my feet, had I just asked (or perhaps even just looked a little unhappy).

In particular, thanks to Calum for reminding me that the more I learn, the more I can share with others. This is not the time for me to worry about what to do for the world. This is the time for me to absorb as much as I can from it, and do whatever goodness I can along the way.

On Technorati: happy, goodkarma, friends

Mark Chignell and I will be off to IBM for an early morning meeting, so I won't be on Skype or Yahoo Messenger. Miss everyone! =)

Random Japanese sentence: Ａ ｓｐｏｔ ｏｆ ｓｈｕｔ−ｅｙｅ は、また猫のいねむりともいわれている。猫は１度に２〜３分しか寝ない癖があるからだ。 "A spot of shut-eye" is also called a cat nap because a cat is in the habit of sleeping only a few minutes at a time.
