I'm still waiting for an offer or "no thanks" from the interview on Tuesday. They made it sound like I should hear something by Wednesday or Thursday. I'm trying to stay patient, but it's getting tougher.

Ok guys, time for a little question for you to answer or guess upon.

I had a day off today, so I went for a little sightseeing trip to an old mansion just outside Stockholm. You can see part of the mansion in the background of the picture below.

The question is - do you know or would like to guess what the tower structure seen on the right in the picture is?

Picture taken with my Desire





Hmmm...I don't see any way up or down other than bringing in an external ladder. I'd guess a big birdhouse, or a really good place to send children for "time out."

ETA: Extra spaces added between the bananas to differentiate it from the UNP dance. (Now that is a THREAD quote if there ever was one )

So, how 'bout taking a cutie out on the course and finding out she's got a better short game than you do? Darn, older gals are just killer sometimes, aren't they?

Nobody can beat my "short" game, John!

She did putt better than me today. We're both just novices....aspiring to be duffers one day, but love any time we can spend at the range or on a course.

And yes, older gals can be killer.

I know what it is... It is a little home for Little Green Happiness Dragons, it is where they live when they are young. Till they are about five years old, then they go out into the world to spread happiness and joy. I normally shot the little buggers with .22 hollow-points if I come across them.

Maybe the exposure will pay off if they get a QA postition open soon and remember me.

That's all you can expect, if they "loved" you so much...
