Bye, Ted

Breaking news as I compose this post:

Senator Ted Kennedy has died of brain cancer. He was 77.

Bye, Ted. I hope Mary Jo pays you a visit in Hell and kicks your murdering ass.

I woke up yesterday morning and discovered a giant chunk of cable channels missing from our analog vanilla coaxial.

So I finally got off my tuchas and ordered the digital converter combooberator.

Allegedly it's easy to install. We'll see. It will be here in a week.

Band stuff: I went ahead and asked Todd to reconsider his decision.

I am prepared for another "no", but at least the maximum effort has been made, so this will be okay.

At least he didn't draw things out and bullshit us to an extreme degree, and there are absolutely no hard feelings.

So I guess that qualifies as a silver lining of sorts.

Alan says stuff like this happens a lot, and I believe him. I'm just not as used to it as he is.

Speaking of Alan, congratulations to my colleague and friend, who is employed again. Well done, boss.

I also caught a few moments of a Sister Wendy Beckett art documentary last night.

Any time I ever ponder whether there is a higher power at work, all I have to do is listen to her speak about art.

She is one of the most divine vessels I've ever seen.

That's it. Have a good Wednesday.
