A few unrelated thoughts:

1) I went 2 consecutive days this week without stepping outside the house. This happens fairly often. Working at home does this to me. I hear we had some rain.

2) Work has been sucking the life out of me. If I perish, mid-post, please contact my boss. He can be reached at 408.....

(Oh, I kid. The life-force still bubbles up inside me. It kind of tickles.)

3) This ad for "Banana Republican" amuses me.

4) Fabulous baseball postseason so far. Takes a bit of the sting out of the Giants' absence from it. All my enemies are being vanquished. Playoff-spot-stealing Astros? Gone. Richer-than-thou Yankees? Ask again later.

I got nothing.
