B. O. R. E. D. O. M.

How do other people handle the boredom? I don't get it. And it drives me crazy that nobody is e-mailing me, so they must not be bored, but then why don't they give me the secret? I am doomed to a mind exquisitely tuned to pick-up scraps of boredom.

That is not really true. It's only in truly boring situations. Like this one. I am rarely bored when I can live without restrictions. Like on a Saturday, in my overalls and barefeet, with piles of books and the great out doors.
