Odd, I Feel Like Tyrion Lannister

Specifically,




Today I:

• finally finished sorting and putting away my papers
• carried 4 crates of stuff upstairs
• stripped and remade the bed
• did 2 loads of laundry
• broke down CJ's old crate
• set up her new crate
• renewed her license
• took CDs back to the library
• burned DVDs
• sorted and put away already done DVDs
• repaired a painting on the wall that had slipped its frame
• did the grocery shopping (did you know they make banana soda?)
• finally watched a movie on the DVR (even as I added 2 more, of course)

For the record, the movie was 'The Lovely Bones', so now I know what Peter Jackson & Richard Taylor think the afterlife looks like. Creative fellows, they are. Also, my hand, my shoulder and my back are killing me. I hate to think what I'll feel like tomorrow.

Rest Easy, Big Guy

I guess we all knew this one was coming, after his stroke last weekend. It seems like yesterday but it was 18 months since I saw the E Street Band play what would become Clarence's next to last gig in Baltimore. He wasn't moving well then, but the saxophone was bold as ever. My favorite Springsteen song is 'Jungleland' and Clarence's solo on that song never fails to bring me to tears, and it did again that night.

If there's a rock'n'roll heaven, they just made one helluva addition to the horn section.
