Thoughts on the Day

  • Trying to arrange a flight out of Louisville for the day after the Kentucky Derby isn’t as much fun as it sounds.
  • I’m going to Las Vegas for a conference.  I understand it’s a quiet, sleepy town in the Nevada desert, with not much to do after hours.
  • Irish Woman says that someone ought to come out with Garanimals for grown men.  It would make the world a better place.
    • She thinks Banana Republic might fit that bill, but I prefer to pick out my own clothes, thank you very much.
    • Apparently it gets under her skin that 99% of my wardrobe is made up of things that are brown, black, khaki, green and gray.
    • Green goes with green, no matter the shade, dammit!
  • I’ve decided that two people in my life are just not worth the effort it takes to argue with anymore.  I’m tired of trying to make intellectual sow’s ears into silk purses.
  • Short story development – write a little, erase a little, write a little, reorder a little, think think think think think.
  • I never realized how horrible the local radio stations are until the new truck came with an AM/FM radio, and that’s it.
    • The new stereo went in today.  No more will I have to listen to nothing but Aerosmith, Katy Perry, and Lyle Lovett.

    NancyR has often told me that there needs to be Garanimals for Engineers.

    ISTR that Sears did a “Garanimals for Men” line years ago. Ads had a buncha sharp-dressed men in suits showing the slacker how you just matched the labels.

    Thank goodness you survived the interim before the new stereo! Nobody should have to be subjected to what passes for music on today’s stations!
