Is that question even meaningful anymore? It's relative. I gotta say, I'm much happier at my current job than I was at my last one. Though it's still impossible to stay interested, challenged, fulfilled, etc. 8 hours a day, five days a week (maybe I should move to France...then maybe I could cut down on the hours :-)...but when I do get bored, they have this great coffee machine with about 16 different flavors of tea & coffee :) > Are you on course?

I've just been reading the Life magazine issue, "The Greatest Adventures of All Time", and if I could, that's what I'd want to do...ski across Greenland or Antarctica, ride in a submarine under the North Pole, make a documentary about dahuts, become a lumberjack, go into space, climb Mt.Everest or El Cap...ok, maybe not, but I do feel some inner need to go on some sort of Adventure(tm). But then there's that whole kids/family/responsibility thing...and that's fulfilling too, but... So, when time permits, I try to go on miniature adventures in my own backyard...in fact, tomorrow, I'm going to try to bike to the top of Santiago Peak, which is the tallest mountain in the.., well, it's the tallest mountain that I can see from my house...except on a really clear day when I might see the San Gabriel Mtns...but biking up those would just be plain crazy :-) From kjetil at kjernsmo.net Sat Jun 30 00:25:09 2007 From: kjetil at kjernsmo.net (Kjetil Kjernsmo) Date: Sat, 30 Jun 2007 09:25:09 +0200 Subject: [Dahut-pm] Documentary Evidence In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <200706300925.11792.kjetil@kjernsmo.net> On Saturday 30 June 2007, Chris Prather wrote: > While researching Whangdoodles (Really Great, Last Of) for my ? > daughter I came across documentary evidence of our own favorite > beast. > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBMVraJZoAU Oooooooh, darobin, we need a English-speaking narrator.
