Yup, I was a wee bit bored this afternoon after learning that a major deadline had been postponed a few days. And being bored was a good thing, because I'd really needed to feel bored at least a little bit this week, and this was my first opportunity. So... I surfed some blogs and it's amazing what you come up with when you do that. (I've learned so much in a little over a month!) I've discovered the magic of "memes" -- and I suspect this one has been around for a while, but that's OK. I decided to partake:

Gives me something to think about. I’m a little bored.

No. Visit, yes. But not live anywhere else.
