It's lightweight Friday night

We have just returned from Valentine's dinner #1 (wife, daughter, and myself) to be followed by Valentine's dinner #2 (wife & moi, only) tomorrow night at one of our favorite restaurants. I am content, happy, and in no mood to look into whatever atrocities the Bush administartion has commited today (this being the exception).

I would like to mention a couple of things of little world-wide consequence....

One, I bought Phrenology by the Roots today, and its probably the best music I have purchased in the past year. While rap/hip hop isn't exactly my thing, there is a lot to be said for a group as talented as the Roots. I had the opportunity to see them last summer at San Diego's Street Scene (along with Sugarcult, Crystal Method, Unwritten Law, and Ja Rule) and I've kept them in the back of my mind since then. Take a gamble, you might like them.

The secong thind is that I will be taking off for a week from blogging starting 2/22 because I have to go to friggin' Florida for a friggin' week on friggin' business. Up until now, I have managed to avoid Florida like it was a Scientologist selling Amway, but business calls and I have to answer. I'm not sure that time will allow me to do any blogging from there and if not, I intend to use what free time I have to catch up on my reading, which has been badly neglected because of ...well, blogging. For those interested (no, it's not a tbogg Bookclub..) I am, and will be reading, The Life of Pi by Yann Martel, The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford by Ron Hansen, and Fierce Pajamas- An Anthology of Humor Writing from The New Yorker.

Like you care.

See you on Sunday night.
