Ok, Steve, you seem to have the best take on the whole situation, and sounds like all the right answers.... I'm glad somebody does..LOL I wasn't really sure when I made the post, but in your answer you made the answer really clear to me, and it was what I figured all along...

A day without learning something new is a wasted day, so today wasn't a total waste afterall. PS- I kinda liked the hamster analogy...hey if it's not fun then it's too much like work...LOL Thanks, Wayne
