Thursday
I had something of an introspective day today.. I’m not really certain what was the catalyst, but it was definitely one of those “I am not in a mood to be bothered” days… and it was apparently very evident. I don’t think that I got to the source of my uneasiness, but I am feeling notably better.

Oddly enough, I have the late Douglas Adams (yes, that Douglas Adams) to thank for it. I was listening to The Salmon of Doubt, a collection of Mr. Adams’ last manuscripts. General musings. Random thoughts. Speeches. Articles. Pure, unexpurgated Douglas Adams. And it made me smile. No, it did more than that: It made me laugh. It gave an entirely new meaning to the phrase “So long, and thanks for all the fish.” Hmm… there’s a title in there somewhere.

Peace.
