I am also (while doing this yum upgrade) :

1. setting up my wife's new laptop with XP
2. configuring her new wireless router for her retail store
3. rebuilding our scanning server
4. babysitting our two year old daughter (my wife is in mexico buying 
furniture for the store)
5. trying to cook some food for said little girl
6. wishing I had a faster laptop for FC2.
7. making some changes to my online forum (won't post the link unless 
someone is interested, it's art/politics/craziness stuff)
8. watching "alice in wonderland" for the umteenth time, my daughter 
loves it. I don't

ok, let me check this FC2 yum thing.

take care. <sound of beer opening>
