Today was special. After yesterday's miserable blizzard, the weather was good enough that I could go spend my $150 in coupons at Moore's. All the coupon dollars I'd earned during my spending spree six months ago resulted in four new dress shirts. I almost hope my next job calls for dress shirts!

rand()m quote

Society is indeed a contract... [the state] is a partnership in all science; a partnership in all art; a partnership in every virtue, and in all perfection. As the ends of such a partnership cannot be obtained in many generations, it becomes a partnership not only between those who are living, but between those who are living, those who are dead, and those who are to be born.

—Edmund Burke
