Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I was really hoping I would be able to commute by train when I was looking for work. Working close enough to be able to commute by bike or walking is not a bad deal, though.

I am supposed to get a cucumber in my CSA box next week. ISTR I had some recipe I was going to try next time I had a cucumber lying round (I don't like them and would not buy one on purpose) but I can't remember what it was. Hm.

Let us libate, Sail! Now to decide what kind of libation I want - something easy is probably my best bet...

No shit. If you worked at my old division, in what this museum is saying is essentially the marketing department, you would have at least a bachelor's in marketing, or similar, before you'd be allowed to write copy.

I've got beer, wine, and scotch. You would think it would be easy, but they all sound just fiiiiine, right now.

I love the train. I would love to take a cross-country train trip one day.

In the mid-80s I took the train from Utah to Pittsburgh for a visit with my family when I still liked them enough to make the effort. At that time, the California Zephyr still stopped in my town, I don't think it does any more. Going through the Rockies to Denver was amazing, all the canyons and rivers and vistas. The ride across the plains was scary because the rails were so uneven, I'd look down the car through the doors to the next car, and they were probably 20 degrees off from each other or more.

Nowadays the Zephyr leaves Salt Lake City at 3 in the morning or thereabouts, but it would be lovely to ride to Denver and back again.

Gewurtztraminer in the fridge. I don't think I've ever had a Gewurtztraminer I liked, but maybe this will be a first. Or maybe I will learn how to report back to the Tasting Room that one of their selections is definitely not to my taste. Either way, valuable information will be gained.

Refrigerated is the magic word, I believe. I've got an IPA and an Abbey ale. I think it calls for the Abbey, today. I've been off IPAs for a while.

Amtrak.com says the Zephyr stops in Helper, Provo and Salt Lake, Connie, looks like bus connections to some other cities. Hm, that train actually leaves from hereabouts at a fairly convenient time. The Coastal Starlight is middle of the night departure or arrival either direction.

Forgot to bring my allergy meds home. I hope I put them on my desk at some point rather than leaving them in a conference room.
