Can't do yard work.

W'ere going to opt for "Click".
Through a needle's eye
JooAng Daily Opinion
Despite all the hardships that occur in everyday life, occasions like this make it all worthwhile.
The world's richest person, Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates, announced that he would step down from day-to-day control at the company he founded to devote more time to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Out of his estimated personal wealth of $50 billion, he has announced that "only" $10 million will be set aside for his family, with the rest to be used for charity. We can easily understand how difficult the decision must have been to leave work at 51, at the peak of his career.
Mr. Gates said at a press conference that he had decided to change his priority from work to charity. He said he had an obligation to return his wealth to society in the best way possible.
This is a breath of fresh air to Koreans, who have been accustomed to seeing the wealthy using dirty methods to hand over their riches to their offspring as long as they can get away with it.
Through Mr. Gates, we are able to learn that wealth can truly be a wonderful medium. He made human life more convenient by developing computer software and, thanks to his charity efforts, the whole world will become a brighter and more comfortable one.
The Bible says that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God.
The world will lose one of its best entrepreneurs, but at the same time it has gained a great person to respect. It seems fitting to present Mr. Gates with the nickname, "The Great Gates."
We hope that his recent decision sets an example all of the rich people in the world and imposes an ethical burden on them.
It must have taken some mind searing thought to come to the decision that his family could live off of ten billion dollars.
Good for him despite it all. Now maybe someone can come up with a really good Widows Platform.
I've finally gotten off my ass and added a few links, links I may read. Most of them are stolen from Miss Alice because she has good links and doesn't fall into a trap of linking everyone who comes along or linking the most popular blogs. The only expcetion she made is joining that cult.
I added the librarian guy even though he looks like James Dean and may have to eventually give up and add the Wombat even though the amount of attention that boy gets from those women
is enough to stir up that little green monster.

Sorry your plans were blasted to heck and back... heard "Click" was suppose to be good... :)
I don't add everyone that just comes along... they have to read me for awhile and if I like their work... then I will add them. Had several that I never added due to their blogs being too... too... perverted! :) Yours was right on the border of being X-X-X... j/k LOL! :)
Go ahead and add EW... you know you like his work! :) and Jason (James Dean) is a great read too... :)
heh,your right.
Because I started off reading political blogs only,aka MJ,and then found that other blogs were often more interesting,I feel guilty at times.
I am taking a risk and headng out for a golf game shortly. The weather undergroung shows that I'm in a corridor that might stay free from any pouring ran for a few hours.
