The Bottom Line The bottom line is sneaking slowly towards the door.
I actually can't believe I did this one....but I'm bored. Bored, bored, bored as a plank of pine. Okay, that made no sense...but life has been slow lately, and I do ocassionally get asked to submit my own entry in this assemblage, and have thus far resisted coming clean with The Actual Facts. But, aw...fuggit...I might as well join all the others who have participated in the "Getting to Know Me" Write-Off. Who knows how long I will still be here? Might as well reveal a little in the meantime...and no, I'm not going anywhere; not that I know of, just in a reflective, mortality-based mood today for some reason. So wtf and darn the ol' torpedos; here we go.
