Let's see ...

New coffee maker comes without filters.

Lost the sound files of Josh Lewin and Frank Viola I recorded yesterday.

Lost sounds files because my iBook is having massive problems. It heads to the shop after I finish my morning routine.

Still wavering between bummed and pissed off about something stupid I said yesterday on the field at Cincinnati. Let's just say Buck Showalter has NO sense of humor.

Did I mention my iBook is having massive problems? Again?

I'm STILL working on my ASMI piece. I've never started and re-started a piece so much. I've actually gone McInerny on it and this one's either going to work or not.

Oh did I mention that piece - about 1500 words in - is on the iBook?

It's one of those days where you just wait for something to go wrong. I'll count my blessings, knowing that these days are few and far between, that my life is among the luckiest I know, and that life does go on. There are far more important things than my bitchy little bad day.

My best friend's friend's child (follow that?) is facing cancer or some other medical condition. It's tough to be hoping for something like osteomyelitis, but that's the situation. Given the closeness of that subject to me and too many friends, it puts things even more in perspective.

Sometimes, the rain is cleansing as long as you avoid the lightning.
