GRUMPIER THAN USUAL

Bah!
And that's all I'll say on that subject.

All the snow from the other day is nearly gone from the grass outside
the apartment. I cracked open a window in the parlor and aired the
place out even though the temp was just barely in the high forties
today. Just needed some fresh air.

I played some rock on the cds today instead of the usual Celtic and
easy listening stuff: Beach Boys, Tom Petty, Young Rascals. Didn't
really get me all fired up like they used to, I must admit.

C left the store for good yesterday. Another victim of TBWMBO. G
will be leaving at the end of the month but he's going because of a
transfer in his full time job.

Finished the new GGK. Excellent. Meanwhile, I'm stuck in the middle
of HT20 still. I need to explain Amr's downward spiral better.

Ah well. Bed calls. I have taken to playing the classical music fm station
very low all night. I can barely hear it but it seems to soothe me to
sleep. Makes my brain slow down and relax. A good thing.
