One of those days
Sorry about the blog silence. I’ll just say that this is one of those days that saw me fall on the chocolate ice cream like a junkie on heroin. Nothing bad happened today. It’s just been an overwhelming day that had me bouncing from one thing to another like a pin ball — and the pace only accelerates through Friday. As for Saturday, I’m planning on sleeping in until at least 8:00 (a.m., not p.m.).
One little thing, though: I found amusing today that, as I walked along side a row of cars with Moms all lined up to pick up their kids, all of them were listening to the news on the radio. (It was a warm day, so windows were open.) And what were they listening to? NPR, of course. There are only four sources for news in my neck of the woods: NPR, the New York Times, the Chron, and the New Yorker (with some people throwing in the WaPo for good measure). They’re well read, but not well-informed.
Even if I can’t blog, though, others are, and I’ll leave you with the wonderful Watcher’s submissions to tide you over.
