New Toy!

Receiving a delightful foot rub from Jeff M yesterday afternoon reminded me of something I was planning to do for some time but had deferred in favour of paying bills and credit card balances. Now that all outstanding short term debts are fully paid and I've been given a small performance bonus for my next pay check, it was time to purchase myself a new toy on eBay:





I was originally thinking of getting this for kent4str, but that would make it sort of a weasel gift, kinda like getting one's great-grandmother a motorcycle for xmas. It's a gift to the pair of us then, so it's available when desired and we don't have to wait for xmas. Delivery should be within a week.

Another Hurdle Passed!

In today's mail, I received my annual Social Security Statement. According to the good folks at the US gov't and the Social Security Administration, I've now worked enough years in the United States to qualify for Social Security.

Of course, kent4str can't lay claim to my death benefits under current law, but it's nice to know that if I survive long enough to retire and the entire program isn't gutted by the Republicans, I'm at least theoretically qualified to participate.
