I think I need a print of this for my house.

and we'll all float on (all right)

Well, there. I wrote most days in April. I may try this again some month. Maybe.

Here's a helpful hint, though: It might be best to have some sort of plan of action before declaring that you will make 28 or 27 or I don't remember how many consecutive blog posts. I didn't have anything in mind for this ordeal. I still kind of don't.

My neighbors seem to be having a fiesta of some variety, but I think they've somehow incorporated Kenny G into the mix. It's odd. And loud.

Also, I know I already mentioned this. But I am going to bed soon so I can wake up early and run several miles with thousands of other people, but mainly with Jeremy. And I am glad. Even though this training season has been rough. Even though we've been busy and trained kind of begrudgingly. Runs like this make me kind of reverent. And kind of majestic, apparently. But seriously. I like it.

Also, so I close in the spirit in which I began this Posts of April business, here- an unrelated Tiberius photo:

see? i am posting twice

My weekend To Do list is too full of too-giant of things. If I get just one of them done, I will count the entire weekend a great success.

And instead of making headway on any attempt at great success tonight, I am going to go try to get some sleeps so I will be extra well-rested to face it all head on, first thing tomorrow morning. Right? Maybe.

So I am posting two little photographs that have been doing nothing but sitting in a folder on my desktop for the past year-ish, along with hundreds others that need to be sorted, organized or (most likely) deleted. (These are not posed; he is very unsteady on a hammock. Also for some reason I am glad there is a turtle sandbox included.)

I didn't update yesterday. That's two misses on this Once A Day journey, which is almost over anyway.

Yesterday was busy. I worked. I ran. I made dinner. I bathed the dog. I had Skype Homers with Rachelle. Actually it was a pretty standard day and not too busy by most people's standards but it was taxing for some reason.

So today I will do two posts. Maybe.

The first is this. An assortment of things.

1. DID YOU KNOW THAT: I try not to use my favorite words very often?

2. Now you know that.

3. I wish I'd discovered gocco before it stopped existing.

4. I want to try Irish Potato Candy but that would involve a) time b) effort c) grocery d) focused attention for the making thereof. So that's a no go.

5. Jeremy and I are going to run that old half marathon on Sunday.

I am ready for bed, kind of. At 5:03 pm. At work.

Don't worry. I am at work but I am being productive. Waiting for some test results.

with a little help from my friends

Today was not the sort of day that looked like it needed to be spent in a lab. It was cool and cloudy, which seemed the sort of day that needed all shades open, and some Bob Dylan (as suggested by someone else) and/or Nickel Creek. Maybe some naps. Maybe some Arrested Development in the afternoon, after some calm/genuine productivity. All after a morning run and coffee, of course.

Some days are just obvious, with their requirements. This was one. I spent it in the lab, though, being busier than I'd intended and making progress on... almost nothing. Work included, now that I think of it.

On a bright side, I found a missing Beatles cd.

don't forget to listen to music

I don't know where I read that. I think it was someplace really, really trivial. Google says I probably read it on Sarah Silverman's Twitter. I don't know about that.

But for some reason, I find it to be incredibly sage advice.

This is a dumb post. But it's true. And I only say this because I had forgotten for a while, and it is much better to have remembered.

Only four more days of this daily nonsense! Then back to sporadic nonsense!

monday

1. Fog. 2. Work. 3. Traffic. 4. Corbin visited and we all had his leftover Easter cake
