Midchuck: I usually start the kettle, check my email, answer a few, peek at a few newgroups to see if I got any questions answered, remember a bit of music I wanted to get down in Cakewalk, look at the time, and find that it's mid afternoon and the kettle has boiled dry again (at least it did until I got wise and bought one that shuts itself off once it boils.) (sometimes I start the kettle numerous times and wander back to the computer for "just a sec".) I commend you on your self-discipline! ;`)~ Jande
