I almost drowned in Facebook notifications last night.

One of my friends published the Big High School Group Photo, tagged me and a dozen other folks he is friends with, and asked for identification tags from everybody.

After forty comment notifications, I changed my preferences.

Think I'll leave those the way they are for about another week or so.

Last night, John and I began watching Mad Men on DVD.

It's got a similar construction to Babylon 5 in that there are things in season one that are foreshadowing events in the subsequent seasons; it's fascinating to see how early some signals have been sent.

And wow, I got caught up in an office lunch scene that involved egg salad sandwiches wrapped in wax paper.

The crinkle sent me into the kitchen to boil four eggs, cool them off, peel and chop them and add a glob of mayo and spread it across some white bread.

Worth every moment of effort last night. And there's some left over for a sandwich again soon.

These things happen in threes: We lost Patrick Swayze -- and then Henry Gibson and Mary Travers.

Yet the jackass still walks the earth. Oh, well.

All right, that's it. Have a good Thursday.
