Aww, there, there. (pats head tenderly; gives hug too) We have a Vent & Rant thread if you wanna talk about it? Hope your mood improves for you!

Phoenix Mountain Oolong

I'll sing you this October song
There's no song before it
The words and tune are none of my own
For my joys and sorrows bore it
Beside the sea the brambly briars
ln the still of evening
Birds fly out behind the sun
And with them l'll be leaving

The fallen leaves that jewel the ground
They know the art of dying
And leave with joy their glad gold hearts
In scarlet shadows Iying
When hunger calls my footsteps home
The morning follows after
l swim the seas within my mind
And the pine trees laugh green laughter

Good morning, all. Another rainy Fall day so I'm pulling a 'CRussell' here and mixing a little Lapsang Souchong into my East India Company's "Royal Breakfast" tea. I've previously mentioned trying something like this before and it not working... Well SURPRISE!!! It didn't work again.

Who was it that defined 'insanity' as repeating the same experiment over and over without changing the parameters but expecting different results? I think he was right...

Well, rainy days are good for long walks through the Underground Shopping arcades. Yesterday I walked about 5k under Osaka and managed to only spend about $200 on stuff I really didn't need. Today I think I'll leave my credit cards at home.

"The definition of insanity is repeating the same mistakes over and over again and expecting different results"

Is the quote but it has been attributed to just about every famous person (Einstein, Ben Franklin, AA, and so one). So no idea who really said it...

Of course that means every fisherman in the world is insane, which I expected anyways.

Isn't there one for fishermen about there being a thin line between a fisherman and insanity?

Yup, we both keep repeating it, apparently.

Today, I'm sticking with Phoenix Mountain Oolong. And it's working well for me while I work to rationalize some of my IT configuration and while I wait, impatiently, for an eArc that should have been available a week ago. Sigh.

Which now appears in our modern times as the angry person clicking the "Enter" key over & over & over & over & over...... expecting the computer to finally notice him and obey his commands!

Pepsi One in my cup ...

Fresh squeezed orange juice and a mug of Anniversary Breakfast Blend
