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, 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.

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.

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.
