I was eating my split-the-difference lunch: lean cuisine chili with doritos and a diet coke.
Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

My Morning Jacket Report:
My editor at Oxford American really likes my Dan Hicks article. I have to finish my edits this morning. But I will be in their prestigious music issue.
EM reported that she got the full nearly adolescent tap dance from Emmett. "Don't drop me off too close to school. Okay you can come in. On second thought, stop right there."
She noted that she wasn't alone in this new Middle School ritual.
Matilda is being the Destroyer of Sleep.
The Bay Bridge is closed all weekend and I have to drive to freakin' Manteca for Emmett's last tournament of the season. Worse, we've got an 8am game on Saturday. To get there for 7am warmups we'll have to leave at 5:30 am! Scheiss!

Aw, he's growing up. I remember when I was a freshman in high school my mom dropped me off every morning and she'd wait until I was almost at the door and then honk and wave. Embarrassing! She found it hysterical and did it every day, much to my dismay. Now I'm glad she did cause it's a nice, funny memory.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I was eating my lunch. It was from the same batch of leftovers as yesterday. Now it is gone, and I am sad.

I left to get some pad see eiw. They gave me such a giant serving that it will be lunch tomorrow, and possibly also a snack before I leave for the airport later that afternoon.

I think we're still in the Age of Aquarius. Or the Industrial Age.
