Getting back to where we left off, things have not progressed very far. I’m slightly off schedule because of a sit down to enjoy “Mother Natures” beautiful display of color. Ok, back to… Oh, wait mug is empty, just let me get another refill and I’ll be back.

Well, its late afternoon and I’m really behind due to a couple of important phone calls. I’ve been sitting at my desk watching flurry of activity outside my window. The “Feathered Friends Backyard Diner” is open for business and quite busy. There are also a couple of adorable little squirrels that have been chasing each other up and down a tree.

I should be doing jobs on that list, but it’s getting late, sun is moving away and temperature is stating to go down. Maybe I’ll make another pot of coffee, fill up that mug once more and continue to watch entertainment outside window. After all, there’s always next Saturday. This article is shareware.

As a boy of eighteen, I could never figure out why such men of Herculean physiques failed to win "Game". It took me many years of research to dicover that solution was in stone, and indeed, only understood it properly, a few minutes ago.

Legend had it that instructions were actually carved into tablet of granite, but they were written in "Javascript", a language with origins from island "Java" (this island is still in existence, before I broke my spring, anyway).

Wasn't I a lucky boy that my true nature wasn't discovered as quickly and easily as I discoved solution, for I would surely have drowned!

"Swimming and stones are not exclusive", I remember some old lad saying at a time more trivial than now.
