It's been a very busy day.
Just hit a milestone. (Didn't get hurt too badly. Just a few bumps and bruises.)
Completed a marathon. (Well, I actually drove 26 miles and got a cramp in my right foot from pressing too hard on the accelerator. Plus I ran into that damned milestone.)
Won a Pulitzer Prize. (Not quite; but close. Got three VH's on some reviews overnight. Almost the same thing.)
Found a cure for cancer. (Well, not really. But my jock itch is clearing up nicely.)
And I'm just plain proud of myself.
TA-DA!

Rich | I suppose you just 'blew off' the last 385 yards of that supposed marathon...?
Do we have no standards as a society anymore...??
What if Phidippides had quit 385 yards short ??

I was gonna invade Iraq, but old Saddam screwed up my plans.
For now.
I guess I'll have to think of something else.
Hmmmmm! Never did care for Delaware.

Rich, now that you've done it all -- here's your next inspiration:

I agree with NJ being the "drive-thru" state. Lord knows Hubby and I have complained every long car trip involves going through Jersey to get to wherever we REALLY want to be.

who hopes NJ members have a sense of humor

HEY! 
How did all this plotting to invade Rhode Island happen and nobody warned me? Huh?
And to think Fr. Kurt started it. The shame.
Anybody who invades RI can expect retaliation: A day sail, dinner at Caserta's Pizza; who knows what we can come up with.
Be warned.

Ah, that must be the problem; we're always taking Rt 80 across NORTH Jersey.

It's Saturday.
Well, I'll be honest with you. I didn't invade Rhode Island today.
Overslept. Didn't have the time. And my wife insists I make it home in time for dinner.
Thought about invading Staten Island which is much closer, but the damn tolls are so expensive.
So I just stayed home...and drank large amounts of scotch.
Hallucinated a bit, which was fun. Slayed something that looked like a furry dragon. (Checked to make sure my dog is still alive. She is.) Had steamy sex with an incredibly gorgeous and exotic woman. (Checked to see if my dog had a gleam in her eyes and was walking funny. She didn't and wasn't, thank God.) And passed out.
All in all, not a triumph, but not a bad day.

"Slayed something that looked like a furry dragon." OK, you fell asleep, rolled out of bed, and in your startled state, you attacked a menacing dust bunny under the bed, right?
"Had steamy sex with an incredibly gorgeous and exotic woman. " Well, since I wasn't in your neck of the woods today, it wasn't me... and I'll leave it to others to figure out who/what it was
