“Boom de yada, Boom de yada…”

Another work week begins. Many/most of the state offices and local businesses will be closed today in celebration of Pioneer Day (which I will refrain from calling “Mormon Christmas”), which was actually yesterday… but, everyone knows that you can’t celebrate a holiday on a Sunday, especially here in the Land Behind the Zion Curtain.
Today is also Lish’s birthday:
This has been a busy, but productive, weekend. The (new) guest room has been painted and the furniture has been moved to the new room. The former guest room is now in the process of becoming the nursery – baby furniture (or at least the boxes with the furniture) has been placed in the room. Many thanks to
SaraRules! and I also made it up to Deer Valley on Saturday evening to see Chris Botti perform with the Utah Symphony. It was a good concert and the crowd was quite receptive to Mr. Botti and his guest performers, Lisa Fischer and… a violinist whose name eludes me.
Groove. Boogie. Sway.
Today’s musical shuffle selection has been a good one for a Monday morning:
- Liz Phair – The Tra La La Song (One Banana, Two Banana)
(Hey, it was stuck in my head after watching a Boomerang-a-long last week…) - Tin Machine – One Shot
- Ray Charles – Sticks and Stones
- Jamie Cullum – Wind Cries Mary
- 16 Volt – Keep Sleeping
- The Charlie Daniels Band – The Devil Went Down to Georgia
Yeah, that’s a good start for a Monday.
