Cigar Divan, hands down. Long hours and mean owners. I'm happy to say they are no longer in business.

Dude. I realize now that I've been collecting a paycheck for 20 years!

Now you.

"So this means you're in charge of everything that deals with art."

"Who's Art?"

Just playing. ;)

"A haze advisory by the Guam Environmental Protection Agency (GEPA) is in effect for the island. GEPA officials say that the cause is dust from Asia."

I knew something was up because since Tuesday I've had to use my inhaler a lot. Dude. I can spend an evening in a smoky bar and not have trouble breathing. But on a hazy day I walk from the parking lot to the office and I'm wheezing. I am not digging this dust deal.

This is my "Dust sucks - Thanks a lot China!" face.

Haze Advisory In Effect
Hazy shade of winter - dust originated from China
Sensitive sinus sufferers should stay seated
Haze advisory extended through Saturday

I miss our clear blue skies.

The Impossible Quiz.
I've been at it for about an hour, and I'm up to #55. My brain hurts.

P.S. It's Flash and the file is huge, but it's worth it.

Good luck to Julie, Joephet and Leslie who are all taking bar exams this week: Julie in Texas, Joephet on Guam and Leslie in California! Send them happy thoughts and good vibes. We all need a good attorney in our circle of friends.

I'll be so glad when this bar business is over...for then they will be free to hit the real bars with me instead of studying all the time!

My buddy Vince is raising money for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society as a participant in their Team In Training's 100-mile bicycle ride. You can help him reach his goal to raise $2400 by making a contribution (he has collected $775 so far). Each donation helps accelerate cures for leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma and brings hope to the patients and families who are on the front lines of the battle against these diseases.

Go here for more information about the program and to make a contribution.

Thanks everyone who voted and helped me get published in Issue 7 of JPG Magazine. I received my copy in the mail over the weekend (sent by Mr. DP himself!) and I was a little taken aback by how big my photo is. Wow.

Thanks again. I love you guys!

But unfortunately I can't because I signed a piece of paper that says I agree to be sued for X MILLIONS of dollars if I say a word.

That's right, MILLIONS. It is, by far, the most expensive secret I've ever had to keep.
Not the juiciest, but the most expensive.

My new experiment is to unplug myself from the internet from Friday night to Monday morning.

So far it's been a liberating experience, but boy is it a task to catch up come Monday morning.

What did you do this weekend?
