Wednesday
It was a pretty good day. Good weather. Productive day at work. Talked to 2/3 of the sib-units. Got a package from home. Not a whole lot to complain about. And, that ain’t bad.

Song of the Day
Brother K by the late Dizzy Gillespie, from the CD “Be Bop”

  • After talking with my uncle last night and telling him how there was no snow here… it snowed last night. Not much, but there was snow on the ground when I woke up this morning. It was just a dusting – it looked like someone had sprinkled (a LOT of) powdered sugar on the ground.
  • started my day off with this little gem.
  • I heard Buffalo Soldier on the radio the other day. I was struck by something… odd. If you listen to the part where they are singing “woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy,” it is very reminiscent of (read: “virtually identical to”) the cadence of the refrain from “The Tra La La Song (One Banana, Two Banana)” (the theme from The Banana Splits Adventure Hour).
  • Think that you’ve had a bad day? Take a look at this story and compare it to your day.
  • I watched both DS9 and Voyager tonight. Both shows featured episodes that I had seen, although I hadn’t seen the Voyager ep, “Relativity”, from the beginning before tonight. The DS9 episode, “Shattered Mirror”, was the one where Sisko’s deceased wife’s doppleganger from the Mirror Universe crossed over to coerce him to go to the MU and help build their version of the Defiant.
  • Every other Wednesday night, a group of us (friends whom I met through a mutual friend) get together for dinner and coffee. Tonight was one of those nights. Jess and I met after work and went to meet them. We got there… and no one was there. Right time, yes. Right place, no. I had confused the location for next week’s SLC LJ Meetup with tonight’s gathering. *GAH* That’s okay though; Jess and I had a nice time relaxing and talking while enjoying our coffee and tea.

And now, off to the realms of sleep.

Namaste.
