An Awful Saturday

iPod morning commute music: Not applicable. Coming off a 3-day holiday with having to work on a Saturday, all I wanted to do was sleep on the train. That said, I won't leave you without some musical reference. Neil Young's new album, Living With War, isn't on the shelves yet, but you can listen to it in its entirety streamed on the following site:

I particularly like track 6, Flags of Freedom, but the whole album is vintage Neil.

Golden Week has pretty much come and gone for me. Today I had to come in to help escort students to a church service in the morning. I have a PTA (Perfectly Torturous Activity) in the afternoon. I'm wearing a necktie. It's awful.

Yesterday I washed and waxed my car before firing up the first BBQ of the season (steaks, tandoori chicken, burgers). A fitting end for the holiday. Now, I need to book my family's summer vacation flights, and I know I'm late and Ray, my travel agent, will moan about it, rightfully so. Of course, I still have no idea if I'll be sent to Canada by my school this summer or not, and if not, I don't get back (if they do send me, I'll be able to squeeze in a 2 week visit to Seattle). Old news, I know, but on my mind.

Better make that call to Ray.
