Doing a ‘handover’ this week of my job to another person. Don’t you hate ‘handovers’? You sit there saying, "Well, this is what I do, but you may not want to do that, but I find it works, even though it’s against policy"…And you don't know if you should answer the phone or leave it up to them. The Public Sector seems to love this sort of thing, with people moving from position to position looking for something 'better' or more interesting. After the third day you’re fed up with the whole thing and sit there reading the paper to see how the Olympics are going, have you seen that German bike rider’s legs? Bigger than Tom Platz’s, and his were freaky. I’m not sure I’d really LIKE legs like that, though I saw a lady at the gym once who’s lats I’d like. She had decent arms too. I’d say, from the waist up, excluding the breast and face, I wouldn’t mind her body, it was certainly better than mine. Her legs weren’t bad either. So I’d take the top ½ and the bottom ½ without the middle. I’d keep my middle. And head. My head. Cause then I could shave. But she probably shaved too, actually. Anyway, I (and she too, as far as I know) used a Klas Törnblom razor today. Nice edge on this. I have a love/hate relationship with the scales.

She was like a full on body builder, put me to shame!

I always enjoy your stories Carl, they always make me smile, anyway on to the photo, very Mark Rothko very abstract in a good way, fairly thought provoking photo if you left out the story and description.

Nice Pictures Bill! (Modest shave den my a**)

Keep on trying Carl, that Burrell is a great shaver. BTW how's the new job? You sounded less than enthused before vacation and no word since. Hope it is bearable.

Doing a handover of my old job, new job starts Monday. I'm concentrating on the positive. There's a gym at work; so lunch time workouts are imminent. Thanks for asking. How everything is OK with you?
