- For the first time in a while, I feel okay. Apparently, the allergies got me so sick, I got both a sinus and bronchial infection, so now I’m on two different medications to keep me in decent health. However, I will say that the combination of the meds is apparently making me a little loopy, which highly amused my date last night.
- I was thoroughly convinced that the plans I’d made with Eve were for Sunday morning, and I was looking forward to a leisurely Saturday morning before running some errands. So imagine my surprise Saturday morning when I was halfway through last week’s episode of Reaper and my phone rang — it was Eve, asking me which apartment number I was in, since the thing we were going to was on Saturday, not Sunday. I hadn’t even brushed my teeth yet. I’m still shocked that I managed to go from being parked at the jetway to full-throttle takeoff in 15 minutes.
- I’m heading to New York for business next month, and apparently my subconscious is already obsessing about it, since I dreamed last night about racing to the airport only to realize I hadn’t actually bought an airline ticket. Then again, in realtime, I haven’t booked a flight or a hotel yet. But there is one part I’m really looking forward to — I haven’t been back to my old hometown in 6 years, so I plan on staying an extra day, renting a car and driving up to Connecticut to see my old neighborhood. It’ll be extremely strange going back there, especially since I won’t be able to go inside the house I grew up in.
- Next Sunday, I’m seeing the Red Sox again, but this time, they’re here in L.A. playing the Dodgers. It still feels a little surreal when I think about the fact that I am one of less than 100,000 people on the planet who’s been present for a Red Sox World Series victory. That’s something to tell the grandkids about.
- Yes, I’m still a little upset that CBS cancelled Jericho again. Yes, I know it’s just a TV show. But it was really well-written and well-done, and it was a hell of a lot better than most of the crap out there on TV right now. That said, I have broken my no-reality-TV rule over the past few weeks to watch an old college friend on Here Come the Newlyweds on ABC.
Maybe you’ll get lucky why you drive my your new house and the current owner will be outside. That happened to me in Charlotte, and I stopped to say hello and told him that my family had that house built, and asked if our initials were still on the concrete slab behind the garage. He actually invited me in to see all the changes that had been made to the downstairs and the backyard. It was so nice to be able to do that!
