Just Because I Was Tired of Looking at That Last Post...

...and also because Cleveland lost, I thought I should put something else up here. I guess I’m now a Rockies fan, as I am irritated at the Red Sox for beating Cleveland. Plus, it seems to me that Red Sox fans are rapidly becoming as obnoxious as Yankee fans. That’s what happens when your team wins too much. We Orioles fans don’t have this problem.

So it has been pretty uneventful in my world lately. I did lose part of the front of my car the other morning, so that was exciting. It was a non-essential part: that little black grill thingy that goes under the front bumper. This was the second time it has fallen off. The first occurred after an overzealous parking job by G. But not to worry, I stuck it back on and felt very resourceful and self-sufficient. They should mention this little detail in the Mercedes brochure. Periodically, parts of your car may fall off, and you will have to stick them back on. Yes, there is a reason I no longer work in marketing.

Oh, I almost forgot – I started playing the violin again. It’s been a little over ten years now, so my skill level has declined considerably. The music I used to play is way too hard for me now, but I’m playing it anyway – just badly. G thinks it all sounds good though. Laszlo seems to be a bit more discriminating. He was barking indignantly as if he knew that I was butchering the lovely folk songs of Bela Bartok. Laszlo is Hungarian, like Bartok, so maybe he felt particularly strongly about this piece of music. Well, he’d better get over it, because there is much more bad violin playing to come. Stay tuned.
