This Friday is off to a good start, let's hope it stays that way.
Got hit on at the coffee shop.
Got more in my paycheck due to a merit raise.
Got last year's CT paid out a paycheck early. Woo hooo!
I should just go home now and call it a day.![]()

I like the one with the piggy that goes "Weeee, weeee, weeee" all the way home.
Lost a friend from the U-M alumni band early this morning. He was 51, went in for some heart disease tune-ups at the same hospital of notoriety from June 2010.
He'd always post updates from the various hockey and basketball games, generally referring (ha!) to the skills of the officials. His last Facebook post:
Well I'm scared as hell and feel like an inmate on death row but here goes nothing. Hopefully there are no refs in the operating room!!! See you all on the other side one way or another!
It's amazing how you can establish a digital connection with someone. I'm pretty sure we only spoke once, at homecoming last year.
Sorry about your friend!
It is amazing how social media has expanded all of our social horizons, so to speak. Without facebook or cyburbia or whatever source(s) you use, just think of how many less people you would "know". Even "knowing someone" has changed in this age. It is truly awesome, IMO.
I like the all state commercials where the guy is something that will mess up your insurance. The new one of him as snow is good, but my favorite is the gps one... "recalculating... go left... NOW!"![]()

Since most of our interactions took place on FB, I'm okay with that. It would be several weeks before the next alumni band newsletter could announce it. As it stands this morning, I have friended the new widow, offered her an ensemble to play one last time, contacted the guy in charge of the band and put the bug in his ear, and found one of Bill's final delightful posts to share.

I'm thinking it might be cool to take a class or two at the local institute of higher learning this summer as an adult learner. No problem, according to their Web site. Then I found out the tuition is $1055 per credit.
As The One would say,
I wonder if I can go for a PhD with just a few credits a semester. Sure, I won't be a Doctor until 2029, but still ...

I just posted in a thread that was NOT in the FAC!![]()
It was so, just so, so wonderful, like walking through tall grass on a warm spring day...or eating a Peppermint Patty bar...or a piece of cinnamon super-charged gum
...still high from it all...
...but exhausted so I may need to not do that again for a while though the temptation is great to see if someone even, like, maybe responded to what I wrote is hard to pass up, perhaps they used the quotation tool to develop their thoughts...
...it's more than I can bear...need to get some green tea...
I had a chocolate craving yesterday afternoon, so I bought a small bag of mini-peanut butter hearts, thinking I could just have "something small."
Several peanut butter hearts later...![]()
In the mid-1990s, my husband discovered an online forum for people who owned a particular car, and he quickly became a regular participant. The person who had created and moderated the forum lived on the opposite side of the country, but they got to know one another over the years, albeit in a limited way.
At Christmas last year, we were shocked to find out, via the forum, that the moderator had committed suicide. It was very upsetting. My husband never met M. in person, but he definitely reacted as if a "real" friend had died.
long weekend coming....I think I'll start it early.
