Hibernating?

You'll be better off without the smoking and the caffeine. I never smoked and I rarely, if ever, drink, and when I do drink, it is never more than 2 in a single night. Now, the caffeine is a completely different story. Right now, I have a huge, and I mean huge, cup of coffee in front of me, but I guess that is what happens when I work until 4:00 in the morning and then get back up at 9:00 in the morning and start working right away.

As far as deer are concerned, the DNR here in Maryland has been working pretty hard to thin them out in parks, but that is about all they can do without the help of the private land owners allowing hunters on their land.

I still manage to get my share of deer though.

As far as internet connections and phone lines are concerned, I had my nightmare a little over a year ago with Verizon. I went from using DSL to dialup because they kept stringing me along for over a month. I lost my business e-mail address out of the blue one day because they decided they couldn't give me DSL access. I switched to Comcast Cable Internet service and Vonage VOIP telephone service, and Verizon keeps sending me mail asking me to come back. I pay a little more for cable and a lot less for telephone service, so I am happy with what I have because it has been rather reliable and I like the Vonage telephone reports because they let me know exactly how much time I spend speaking to each client.
