You are the type of person who works best when the work is most challenging. Family and friends can always count on you when they need help moving furniture. Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time browsing through a long list of dot com websites hoping to buy either one of those "hang in there" kitty cat posters or a velvet painting of Elvis Presley.

Two familiar faces are enjoying the circular trip on their fiberglass ponies. The slender guy with the bushy mustache is Dan Dreiling, the drywall man. I had him repair a hole in my living room wall caused by an over-excited vacuum cleaner a few months back. The disgusted look on his dusty face tells me that I must have overlooked his $100 bill.
