Might get loopy

After spending a few minutes on YouTube, watching how others use Loopy on their iDevices, one question must be asked. How do people go to work when there’s so much potential for creation?

Under cover of darkness

Under cover of darkness, in driving snow. Randy on the radio, counting through songs based on the letters of the alphabet. So much good music, along the way. Turn here, and park. Burger stop. A&W, just because. That’s Saturday without a care.

Another season to survive

I left for work, in darkness, and I came very close to falling on a patch of black ice. Later, the flurries started, thickened and finally ceased.

A return to Moonfleet

I enjoy good music. I enjoy a good book. When I can find a reason to combine the two, that’s just… good. And today, although neither the book nor the record album are new, I found myself immersed in the two. While on the bus. That’s also good.

Let me improvise

Tonight’s news is ringing in my ears; a welcome change from that steady hiss that I learned to accept. Call it ‘tinnitus’ but sometimes you don’t get bells.

Bad latency and a new python

Busy evening. Since supper, I’ve tried wrstling a python and confronted the latency monster on my laptop. Not how I envisioned the evening.

Dog fails as a food critic

The dog would never make it as a food critic. Everything I eat is “good” in his view of the world. This evening; canned beans and beef. He approved. I really should go out for groceries, but it’s dark and I’m lazy. Tomorrow evening.
