Tax Day
I forgot. No, I didn’t forget to mail my taxes, I did that at the perfect time, I hope. But I forgot that I was heading out to hear Jimmy Buffett today. Red-headed Cap friend. Got tickets. Good tickets. Houston show tonight.
Leave early, get back late. Boat drinks!
Now, if I can just find my parrot earrings…..
No, I wasn’t her [i]first choice[/i], but I am an old standby for just such an adventure.
[b]Other items of note:[/b]
I must admit, since I’ve passed this one guy, just about every weekday, for close to month or more, that I have unfailing admiration for him. I was going to try and get a picture, but the best I could do Monday afternoon was grin. I would salute, too, but I was certainly out of uniform for that. Hawaiian shirt, sandals, and cargo shorts don’t really look very military, along with a curly ponytail.
He’s been standing, every afternoon that I’ve been there, with an American flag, in front of the Capital Building, holding up a sign that suggests he’s not in favor of the current police action in Iraq.
What I admire is the guy’s dogged determination. Plus, he has a right to express his opinion. The fact that he’s doing in a way that I find sane and civilized is another plus. Can’t say I agree with his point of view, but I do admire his courage. And I’m all for his rational approach to making a statement.
And his right to express himself.
[b]The Moon was in Virgo:[/b]
As I swung by the [url=www.thehideout.org]The Hideout on the way home. The Taurus barista wasn’t working, and on his way out the door, he warned me that the Virgo, who was working, was a little out of sorts.
After collecting a little cup of expertly-poured espresso, I tried to come up with a little bit of sympathy, “The Moon is in Virgo right now.”
“Thanks, I guess,” she demurred.
She promised not laden my cup with any of her bitterness, but some how, it made it into the brew anyway. Still, the last drop of foam was quite tasty. The Italians, or so I’m told, refer to that as “creama” – the froth on top of the espresso.
[b]Two out of three ain’t bad[/b]
Under the last New Moon, I did my lunar magic and set out three items to accomplish.
Uno: Move to a cheaper server: failed due to inherent unreliability of the new service.
Dos: Set up the subscription software, took twice as long as anticipated, but it worked.
Tres: Planted “cat grass” [oats of some variety], and it’s looking like miniature lawn.
Who sang “two out of three ain’t bad”?
