Thursday
Day Four of a…. four-day work week. I’m taking tomorrow off. Wasn’t a bad day: Mail in. Mail out. And if you haven’t read yesterday’s tirade about addressing your mail, do so now. No, stop reading this, go to yesterday’s entry, read it and THEN continue reading this.

::: humming “The Girl from Ipanema” while waiting :::

Done? Did you read the whole thing? Okay, moving on… I don’t have anything to rant about tonight… but I reserve the right to do so, just in case.

Watched my obligatory two hours’ worth of Star Trek. It’s still a little… odd to see Captain Commander Sisko with hair. Also odd (or maybe just amusing) is watching the (first season DS9) actors try to get comfortable in and with their roles.

I chatted with and for a bit.

Quote of the Day: From my conversation with : We were discussing the fact that our families have not embraced some of the newer technologies that are available (and that they call us to help them figure it out when they finally do break down and join the electronic masses).

  • Me: “I’m a digital kid. I have analog parents.”

For : “Cracker Pants.”

Peace.
