Nothing like a plane crash to motivate an exit, and other thoughts:
Few people think more than two or three times a year; I have made an international reputation for myself by thinking once or twice a week.

The Day Ahead:
The last time I was this excited about anything was the time when I was 9 years old and my Uncle Ernie let me do two lines of coke in the boy's restroom at the CYO reception hall, during my Aunt Sue’s wedding reception. What a night that was, it was the first time I discovered my love for dance.
Why am I so excited you may ask? Well, there is really no good reason. I have three state billing reports I have to get out before noon, an afternoon meeting with another director over shared staffing issues, two grants that I want to get out the door and off my desk and training on Meth tonight until 9pm.
I guess I don’t know why I am happy about the day ahead. Other than I am not sitting in my house watching some damn documentary on Hitler. The one high light however, is that Mrs. JQP said she would like to go to the Meth training with me (she is worried about my leg holding out for so long and the drive home, at least that’s what she said, I think she my be looking for some pointers).
So anyway, that’s my day in a nut shell, no clients, no courts, no big life or death stuff (or so it looks now).
Book of the Week:
This is one of those books I recommend to all newlywed couples. God, knows the wisdom contained in its pages have helped save countless marriages.
JQP Live at the DMV:
I went back to the DMV yesterday. Need I really say more? There was a line going out the door, with of course no place to sit once your interned. However after waiting only two hours I was able to get a crippled person parking permit.
So, now I could park right in the front row at Wal-Mart, if I ever went shopping at a Wal-Mart (I don’t, you the reader know I view this corporation as a manifestation of the Anti-Christ’s rule here on earth).
On a side note, the Indiana DMV data base for some reason shows my address as a town I have never lived in. I have changed that address three times, and for some reason their system always defaults back to it.
Which could work to my advantage when our Governor Mitch “the Knife” Daniels sends the black helicopters and storm troopers to pack me off into the night, to some fundamentalist run Re-Education Camp in Southern Jay County.

Quote of the Day:
I have three treasures. Guard and keep them:
The first is deep love,
The second is frugality,
And the third is not to dare to be ahead of the world.
Because of deep love, one is courageous.
Because of frugality, one is generous.
Because of not daring to be ahead of the world, one becomes the leader of the world.
Lao-tzu, The Way of Lao-tzu
Chinese philosopher (604 BC - 531 BC)
