Just Because I'm Listening...

A slow afternoon that ended by the spouse giving me a ride home. A little break won't hurt me...will it?

Some observations about today:
- Got a haircut during lunch after borrowing a co-worker's SUV. She's a nice person who sings like nobody's listening, dances like no one is looking, and lives like there's no tomorrow. She's had a much harder life than most.
- My hair was severely out of control, so the stylist spent some effort on it. She took a lot of time running her hands through my hair. Should I feel violated? (I do, a little)
- Got a Subway for lunch. Turkey breast on wheat with lots of veggies. Just what the doctor ordered. (And who own's Subway?)
- Five 20-ounce glasses of water today. It turns out I may not need all that water.

"Reality" is a slippery word, meaning something different to each of the six+ billion humans on the blue marble, not to mention those members of the animal kingdom which I suspect are far more perceptive that we understand. There are people whose idea of Reality is so far removed from the majority opinion, they should be patted softly on the head. Or in some instances, just plain locked up.

It's about a mile from the intersection of Carson and Fifth to the house if you go west by way of Richmond.

ESPN [Unscientific] Poll Question: "If your team was in a pennant race, would you make a deal to get Rafael Palmeiro?" Of the 86,000 respondents so far, 66% said, "No."

This dude will be sleeping on the couch possibly for the rest of his life.

As I listen to my Shuffle, this web site enters my consciousness.

When I don't have anything to say, I insert other people's web sites into my blog. :-)

OK, one more: "Hunks Banned from Alcohol Ads in the U.K."
