Found a 1972 JFK 50-cent piece on the ground in a parking lot. Silver glinting in the sun against the black asphalt. Felt like treasure!

The 1st day of a power outage, w/ a day off, is enlightening. The 2nd day, w/ a normal schedule, is exasperating.

FB, about your mobile apps; Let me tag specific people in posts, mute sources in my feeds, & share links from my feed w/ friends. Get on it!

A day w/o electricity makes me think & act differently. I need to consider regularly scheduling e-fasts.

No power & what I saw on my driving tour (trees down, streets blocked, tons of public-servant/metro vehicles), we'll not have it back soon.

Storm knocked out power in our part of East Nashville this morning around 4:45. Have headed out seeking food & wifi. Good progress so far!

Bad Wolf.

Nice win in Anaheim last night Preds!

Oh Nashville, why so many blackouts? Can't we work on getting power-lines buried so we can have rain & a breeze without system-wide outages?

I suppose a Glenn Gould phase would be inevitable for me eh?

Congrats to the Nashville Predators for clinching a number 5 seed in the playoffs. Bring on the Ducks!

My siesta was interrupted by a fiesta!

Mom's fever has dropped, she's keeping food down, white blood count looks good, & heart checked out fine. She's catching up on rest now.

The sun and breeze and clouds and trees and friends and neighbors and dogs and family and walks and river and bikes were all GREAT today!

Worst commute since moving to Nashville. 18 minutes into Brentwood this morning. 2 hours, 10 minutes home to East Nashville tonight. *sigh*

A pair of unsettling phrases: "just in time delivery" & "global food production."

Loving "Portlandia" on IFC. Any sketch show that uses "Washed Out" for its theme song is A-OK in my book!

FOX doesn't just screw up news...their broadcast of the Super Bowl was littered with technical issues. Shameful. Still, congrats Green Bay!

Chiefs/Ravens, really looking forward to this one. C'mon Chiefs!
