Purple haze

At last, a day that feels like spring. We've had some sunny/warm-ish days over the past couple of weeks, but this is the first day I've really felt like the winter is over. Thank g-d. This past winter (my second in Minnesota) was definitely longer than the first. People told me last year that the winter was mild, and I didn't really believe them until I realized how nasty this year's winter was. Oh well. It's a thing of the past now.

Dora and I are in Common Roots trying to get some work done. Even though the nice weather is inspiring, it makes it hard to sit inside and work. At least there are big windows here that let the sunlight in.

Last night I absentmindedly left my debit card in the ATM after making a withdrawal. Or at least, I'm assuming that's what I did. All I know is that I had my card when I went to the ATM, and later that night when I went to pay for my dinner, I didn't have it. I called to cancel that card and order a new one, so this makes the second card I've lost in the past few weeks. Meh.

I want to get done with a decent chunk of work this afternoon so I can enjoy the rest of the day, and tonight relax and listen to "This American Life." The past couple of Sundays, I've been downloading the previous week's podcast and listening to it in the evening, so I hope to continue that tradition tonight. I'm always a week behind, but I never have free time when the program airs during the afternoon, so it works out I guess.

Back to work.
