Worth noting that the sunny side of spring arrived on a Saturday morning this year, and is staying through Sunday. This after several weekdays of nice rain. I can’t remember the last time the season came so well-timed... very nice.

I’ve spent most of the weekend so far sitting by an open window in my apartment, or at a booth in the Diesel, working on good things... Will announce when appropriate.

People are all chatty-bananas with the weather, in town. A man in a green car rolled down Elm Street, belting out the chorus of some happy new pop song: La la la laa-aa! La la la laa-aa! People he passed turned to one another: Was that guy singing? That guy was singin’ along! I thought I heard one person say “The Breakfast Song” but between iTunes and Google I cannot find any confirmation or disambiguation here, alas.

Then a car filled with distracted kiddos nigh ran over my toes at a red light. “Oh my god, you almost ran over that...” said a young man within, apparently unable to choose a word to describe the jmac properly, and who can blame him? “Aiee, I nearly died,” I told them, sleepily, as I sidestepped behind the car.

Hey, iTunes carries Tortoise’s entire discography (or so I think) now! And they have a new album. Nice.

"chatty-bananas" :)

It's hazy sunny here - off to wind up the victrola and roll the window down and hit the open road. Zoom zoom. Might have to go be semi-productive in some comfortable cafe by the river, cool spring breezes flowing in to push out winter to run down the gutter like yesterdays rain.

It's going to be EIGHTY-NINE DEGREES tomorrow. Just in time for the marathon! Then it will go back down to the '50s. I love New England.

Could that song have been "The Logical Song" from Supertramp's Breakfast In America? It has some "la-la" parts in it. I'm guessing you'd have recognized that, though.

And yeah, I need to hear the new Tortoise album at some point. Surprisingly zero mention of it on all my music mailing lists.
