Update for update's sake...

So...only worked 11.5 hours today. It was like a day off!

I also saw a train this evening, so that was okay. And I think that I might read a little before I go to bed...maybe make some more progress in I Henry IV. That has been pretty good so far. Most of Act II has just been insults. "Fat-kidneyed, bacon-fed lack-brain" and so on.

And this one... "A cup of sack, you rogue! Is there no virtue extant?"

So yeah. I thought about model trains today too. I spent a good couple of hours wondering if I should switch to N scale ... but I don't think that I will.

I guess that's pretty much all.

Oh! And this.

Expecting to Fly -- Neil Young (Buffalo Springfield) -- another song that should be heard at all costs

There you stood on the edge of your feather,
Expecting to fly.
While I laughed, I wondered whether
I could wave goodbye,
Knowin' that you'd gone.
By the summer it was healing,
We had said goodbye.
All the years we'd spent with feeling
Ended with a cry,
Babe, ended with a cry,

I tried so hard to stand
As I stumbled and fell to the ground.
So hard to laugh as I fumbled
And reached for the love I found,
Knowin' it was gone.
If I ever lived without you,
Now you know I'd die.
If I never said I loved you,
Now you know I'd try,
Babe, now you know I'd try.

I also never really appreciated how great of a song Sugar Mountain is. When I was driving down from Morraine Lake the other day in Banff it came on, and I thought about how perfect of a setting it was for that song (not just the coincidence of being in the mountains listening to a song about amountain, as it were). And I've liked it since.

And Amy! I still can't believe that you don't like lap-steel guitar. Tisk.
