This video is labeled, “Crazy Dog.” I think “crazy” is generous. I’d argue for “psychotic.”
I made a dent in putting away the papers from this past semester laying around my guest/computer room. All organized by date: the reading assignment, my blog entry of it, the handouts she presented that week, and any miscellaneous notes.
I walked around the lake, and listened to the soundtrack from Wicked the entire way.
When I got about three-fourths the way around, to the boathouse, I sat out on the deck there for about 15 minutes — in a rocking chair, with the sun on my legs and arms, and my head in the shade enjoying the cool 70-degree breeze. I marveled at how wonderful my life is right now.
I stopped at the Harris Teeter off Buck Jones Road on the way home, and among other things, bought rolls, chicken salad, and pimento cheese to make finger sandwiches for tomorrow night’s final ENG 675 defenses.
At home, I made a killer salad with chunks of teriyaki-marinated chicken in it, which I had for dinner.
I listened to part of the Wicked soundtrack again.
I had an AIM conversation with Irene, ironically, about how happy I am.
