Quick update – right now, the only thing on me that is red are my eyes. I just woke up. When I went to get a cab yesterday morning (I slept in until 0500, and by the time I got to the cage there was a line of all things … ) there weren’t any Crown Victorias left. The only cabs available for lease were the Prius(s) (how do you pluralize Prius? Prii? Priuses? many Prius?) and then only if you went for a 24 hour lease. So – on short sleep, and needing to run a cab, I signed on for the special Prius familiarization class (worth a $5 credit on your lease) and had a walk around tour (because they won’t take your word for the fact that you have operated one of these critters before). Then, I was off. The lease rate for a Prius is higher than for a Crown Vic. The comfort rate for a Prius, however, is much lower. Yes, it got great mileage. Yes, I only used $30 of gas (@2.59/gal) for over 400 miles of city driving. But my rear end was welded to the seat all day and all night, so I was reminded of the trip, and why I didn’t buy one after driving one across the country.

Speaking of “i just woke up and boy, am i tired”, I have, once again, postponed the next installment of The “O” Word until the 12th. Sorry, AnnieB – the mind, it is not working, and I won’t be able to take a nap between now and then.

Chat ya later…

So – things are settling back into “normal” around here. Went to work at the deli today. I’m planning on missing the HOA meeting tonight, even though I’m on the board, because I have two sick girls on my hands. The Tagalongs came in, two boxes=two single servings, right? I’ve got an invitation for tomorrow morning to discuss the numbers that came back from the blood test – “off the charts” means I’m outstanding in every way, right? I’m planning to have a show Friday night 2200 hours MST. My ear infection has gone away, but the ringing is getting louder. I think I’ll mention that at the discussion tomorrow. I’m not practicing on my bass nearly as often as I should, and certainly not as much as I want to, but these things happen. I will get it together and actually start improving soon. I’m getting used to the idea that Mom isn’t around any more, but there’s still a nagging feeling in the back of my mind that I have forgotten something in connection to her passing. If you see something here (now that I’ve got the move finished) that is different or not quite the way it was before, let me know, and I will fix it. Or at least try to.

I was going to do an update today, but then I’ve been involved in the migration of the Black Canyon Railroad Museum site to a WordPress platform, and decided to go ahead and finish up some little projects over there (big thanks to Bushwack over at American And Proud for the moral support in getting a second wordpress blog going!). I was driving a cab yesterday, had a good shift with a minimum of weirdos. I’ve also been thinking of restarting my BTR show, with an emphasis on interesting web sites and cab stories. What do you think?
