HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY

It's dawned on me that the content of this weblog has tended to be pretty dark and nasty -- Larry Tate's Death Mask, members of "our finest generation" keeping Japanese body parts as souvenirs, Marie Prevost being eaten by her dog. This is odd because I have a reputation among those who know me for being a happy- go- lucky guy.
SO.... IT'S HIGH TIME FOR A POSITIVE COMMENT! Here goes...
Wednesday we had a nice day at work. The bosses weren't there. We had cake.
Thursday wasn't bad either -- Susan brought me a brownie.
Today (Friday) I had a vacation day. I went to Des Moines. I listened to a lot of good CDs on the way there and on the way back. I did some shopping and found some good stuff I wanted real cheap. I watched the DVD "Phantom of the Paradise" a movie my brother and I went to when we were kids. It is intentionally really stupid, so I can't recommend it, but watching it was more fun than being at work.
