Ewe udder and Mooovin'
A healthy udder is soft and pliable, and has two well-developed teats. When purchasing older ewes, examine udders for missing teats that might have been snipped off at time of shearing.

Thought I was off the sheep thing, didn't you? (Ow, that quoted paragraph did sound painful ...)
I've been keeping my head down and preparing for the Toronto Usability Summit, at which I will be co-presenting with Tara Cleveland.
Other news, I've found a new place to move to yesterday evening. I'd tell you more, except I can't remember much. It was one of those walk-in-the-door-THIS-IS-IT experiences that I can't remember if it had carpet or not, I had no idea what view I had out the double windows (except that it is amazing). So, details to come after I actually move ;)
Whilst the landlady(?) and I were going into the lift, she asked me when I'd like to start my lease. A portly man was already in there, looking rather casual and unshaven. In a daze, I asked, "What day is it today?"
"Today is Monday," said the landlady.
"Today is Monday ..." I repeated.
The lift began its downwards grind. After we'd slipped past three floors or so, the man besided us suddenly spoke, "No, today is Tuesday."
