        That should be your intention. Life sometimes refuses to follow ones plans, however.

                Their chocolate eclairs aren't what they used to be. :sigh: The chocolate topping is too sweet and sauce-like - it used to be thick, hard and chocolaty...(and if anyone is reading that last bit out of context, you have a dirty mind)

                              I am not getting into posting foodstuffs again. The last time I did that (my girlfriend was working in at CERN and complaining about the absence of jammy doughnuts) it did not work out well. Foodstuffs with a wet center do not travel well through the post, and can result in Official Questions being asked about red fluids dripping from packages... :sigh:

                                          Should Programming be a life career?

                                          I only read newbie introductory dummy books.

                                          Yes. Programming is Life in itself, for me. Code is my breathe.
