My head feels better today - probably the extended rest and straight-out veggage of yesterday combined with my migraine meds helped.

I had to spend a chunk of the day playing catchup today, though.  No big deal.  A lot of the pressure is off now that I'm not doing everyone else's job and I have a backfill identified for my job.  Yay!!!

I accompany a young, 20-something buddy of mine to a local jeweler fairly frequently. Every so often, he gets a wild hair and buys a tray of gems. 

I asked why the buckets-o-gems and he replied that he was tired of playing with stocks and figured he'd try something new. 

Heh.
