What a difference…
…a few days can make. Since I last checked in with you:
- Senator Wellstone, his wife, and daughter were killed in a plane crash along with some of their loyal staff. Just heartbreaking. In death they were not divided.
- 118 hostages died tragically and senselessly in Moscow.
- The wonderful actor Richard Harris left us, and left the world wondering who can possibly play Albus Dumbledore in the remaining Harry Potter movies series. Harris was so perfect for that part, it could have been written for him.
- I missed the fabulous Candi’s birthday (though I did send her a card and a presentette before I left town last week).
- Stupid, stupid daylight savings time started up again. Or ended. Or whatever. It’s all retarded.
- The San Francisco Giants lost the World Series to goddamn Anaheim. A place that has Disney in it. A place that is located in Southern California (and everyone knows civilization stops at Santa Barbara). I would rather have lost to a different state, even one of the square ones.
- I actually had to wear a coat this morning, because it’s 57° and as everyone knows, that equals freezing on the Suzy scale.
- I got home late last night, and have failed to unpack or wash my hair or anything, so I’m kind of fran?aise at the moment, with my hair all smelling like cigarette smoke (but at least not Gitanes or Gauloises).
But on the bright side:
- It’s sunny.
- I’m back home in the most beautiful city in the entire USA in my opinion.
- I’m still alive.
- No crises occurred while I was away, or at least none that have been drawn to my attention, so that means they didn’t happen as far as I’m concerned.
- The boys I work with (I’m the only female analyst in our office) left a bunch of daisies in my office with a pencilled note saying they missed me. Awww. And amazing because they are still riding the bummer about the Giants and it’s so bad that not even Krispy Kremes can cheer them up. They’ll just have to wait for Time, the great healer, to work its magic, even though Time is an unbelievable slacker.
