Infectious, and loving it:

Back at my Desk:
57, yes 57, the number of e-mails awaiting me this morning. The Borg was busy in my absence. Three, the number of my staff who said they wanted to quit as a direct result of the Borg’s actions while I lay on my sick bed. 18, the number of days till the Borg gets back from vacation. Oh, yes I shall be ready… yes I shall…

Bar Trick for the Week:
Don’t Touch the Cherry Trick: It's very simple, and all bars should have the items to do it. You'll need a brandy snifter, a stem less cherry (rinsed and dried), and an ashtray . Place the snifter upside-down over the cherry. Challenge a bar guest to get the cherry into the ashtray without touching the ashtray or the cherry.

The only thing they can touch is the snifter, and the only thing the cherry can touch is the snifter. The snifter must remain inverted at all times. (Mashing the cherry on the rim is not permitted.) Note: You can use an olive instead of the cherry, and to add more Difficulty to the Trick you can use a glass of any kind instead of an ashtray, and or use obstacles that the Cherry has to go over. It's easy give it a try. Here's how its done: Simple take the snifter glass place over the cherry and begin spinning it. The centrifugal force will keep the cherry in the glass.

Thought for the Weekend:
The Book of Five Rings -- Miyamoto Musashi, 1645 Earth
Stategy is the craft of the warrior.
Water - Study hard to absorb these things into your body.
Fire - Become the enemy. Move the shadow. Let go of the hilt.
Wind - The sword swung violently is coarse.
Emptiness - To know form, know emptiness.
