Twitter really helps in generating “sticky” messages. 140 chars requires me to be compact and convey core of a message, keeping it simple. #
In about one hour our family will have a New Year’s Day conference call to re-connect with one another, etc. #
Wow. Just learned that many folks with Zunes now own bricks. Hope everything works out. #

Neck spasm distracting me. Naproxen and analgesic cream haven’t helped so far. #
had a Bloody Mary earlier and a Sam Adams Winter Lager. Also took some more naproxen and applied more analgesic cream. #
needless to say, I’m hoping the “no pain” I feel everywhere goes to the neck and shoulder. #
nap was great except for waking up and feeling sharp pain in my neck. I know it’s from sleeping oddly. Must find heating pad. #
made myself a screwdriver. Not satisfied bcuz the vodka is distilled, I added some tequila. Found the heating pad. So far so good. #
@freekii I’m just trying to get the neck spasm to go away. in reply to freekii #
@missusP There was a law passed in Ohio that banned smoking in public areas. Or we voted on it or something. Can’t remember. in reply to missusP #
heading off computer to continue watching The Negotiator on DVR #
applying heating pad to neck/shoulder spasm, applying tequila and diet coke for the pain. #
@svgehrke Good to find another civil engineer on Twitter. I graduated in Civil Engineering from the University of Cincinnati in ‘94. in reply to svgehrke #
