Waiting a little while longer to leave this evening due to the idiocy on the
roadways with a little bit of snow on the ground.  Roomie warned me the
intersections are slick and I'm hearing reports of traffic snarls now.  May
end up skipping the gym.

Knight reinc still chugging along.  Found that townsman and kings feast rock
hard for conduct rep.  Got to the end of 3rd level of conduct rep today, so
that's 2 aspects down, 2 to go.  Still waiting on Blayke to go and get me a
Hannes book to get the education aspect wrapped up.  The valor aspect, ugh. 
That is going slooooowly, but at least I now have a few mobs I can solo and
actually move the meter along a bit each day.  At current pace, I'm weeks out
from lvl 2, *sigh*.  But played with mounts a bit today, and found it
interesting with the smallish mobs I'm taking on.  Got Fluffy the battle sheep
capped due to a crit. from a mob.  Moved up to the rental mule from the
batcity stables.  A little better, and can ride indoors even with out the prot
mount spell up.  I'll have to putter with barding sometime to see if that
helps even more, same with saddle and bridle.  All in good time.

I was offered a job back to my old work group today by my old manager.  A year
ago I would have jumped at the chance, but now I'm fat, dumb, and happy in my
new role.  Besides, that place is still a mess from the top down
administratively.  Too bad, but they had their chance to keep me and they
didn't even bother to say good-bye.  Decided I had better go to the gym
anyways, so heading out.  Today's post brought to you by ice water and Belinda
Carlisle's "Heaven is a Place on Earth".
