Friday
In the words of matchbox 20: “It’s been a long day.” But, it was a good day. And, it was capped off nicely with coffee and chat with friends. Including a couple of friends that Jess and I haven’t seen in… far too long. We’re having dinner with them tomorrow. No, make that “I’m cooking dinner for us tomorrow.”

When we got to Borders, there was a musical duo setting up in a corner of the cafe. O_o !?! Apparently, someone scheduled music for tonight; they usually have music on Saturday nights. Jess, Galadriel and I got a couple of crusty looks from the musicians’ friends/family because we weren’t rapt by the performance. *shrug* The young lady (singer/guitarist) had a nice voice, but I wasn’t in the mood for folk-ish music.

  • As noted above, Bob Keeshan – better known as Captain Kangaroo – has died. I remember watching his show in the mornings before school. I remember Mr. Green Jeans, Mr. Moose and Bunny Rabbit. And the assorted short cartoons. I also remember that Bill Cosby’s Picture Pages started on the show.

    Au revoir, mon Capitan.

  • Model railroading can be fun. It can also be a time-consuming hobby. Take a look at this recreation of the Yosemite Valley Railroad. Take the tour to see pictures of the layout.
  • We’re only immortal for a limited time…
  • More Utah driver shenanigans.
  • More dull grey inversion-induced haze.

I’m fairly certain that there were a few other things that I wanted to say, but I’m tired and they aren’t coming to mind. Rather than try and force them to the surface, I’ll just end here. If I remember them later, maybe I’ll post them.

Namaste.
