He’s bound for New Orleans..

Sorry, lost in the headphone zone again. I’m trying to block out distractions. For some reason I’m easily distracted. BTW, that’s why the Black Crowes are below this entry; there’s no hidden meaning, it just came on the radio and made me chuckle so there it is.

Todd Snider tells a great story about how some of the best advice he ever received was to never own more shit than you could pack up and move in 15 minutes. Let me tell you, I’ve never met anyone who has actually acomplished this (I can’t speak for Todd, he tells the story but I have no idea if he still follows that advice). I know for a fact that we just spent four days sifting, sorting, and packing stuff; we still aren’t done. What a long fifteen minutes…

And hey, I’ve been busy all day, I just checked and the world is panicking as stocks slump. Oh, now there’s a shock. You can almost hear a dozen Presidential Hopefuls preparing their press conferences about how they are now Expert Economists and have the secret to Fix Everything, but they won’t tell us what it is until after we elect them. And just last week everyone was jumping around saying that giving American’s $1,000 would keep us out of a recession. Yeah, right.

Did anybody watch any football? I saw one play, this weekend I think. The last play of the Giants / Packers game. Damn, that looked cold.

My kids were awesome this weekend. Their dad is the one that needs the work. Really. One more weekend of hell, and we’ll be caught up on the moving front. I hope.
