12:42am JST Thursday 15 December 2005

Today I've been chewing through emails in my inbox... gotten from about 110+ to 55. Mathematical halving not intended.

Gonna wake up earlyish to get the TJ Bike portion of my stuff packed and head out.

BUT, I am not heading out to the wild blue yonder. Back to a place known to some as MH....
