the last few hours of freedom
Jan. 28th, 2008 12:52 amThe weather wasn't bad outside today; but since I spent the day mostly indoors, that was not significant.
Finished a couple of mobile phone cases for two coworkers. Am now praying that the mobile phones fit inside.
Wish tomorrow wasn't Monday.

The Yak
As a friend to the children
commend me the Yak.
You will find it exactly the thing:
It will carry and fetch, you can ride on its back,
Or lead it about with a string.
The Tartar who dwells on the plains of Thibet
(A desolate region of snow)
Has for centuries made it a nursery pet,
And surely the Tartar should know!
Then tell you papa where the Yak can be got,
And if he is awfully rich
He will buy you the creature --
or else
he will not.
(I cannot be positive which.)
