Redecorate the spare bedroom, clean my office for the first MR> time in six months, and many others (and I can possibly post to the MR> PDML without making any more major blunders and making a fool of MR> myself - except for the not making a fool of myself part).

Got a line on a MR> possible teaching position at a local arts college. We'll see how that MR> pans out. MR> For now, I'm glad just to be re-joining society! (And the PDML - just MR> barely - falls into the category of "society" <g>)
