I'm without the family for a second day. Its funny how quickly I resort to old habits: making a whole pot of Jambalaya, and eating for two days; not cleaning at all; not making the bed; getting ready for work in about 15 minutes from the time I wake up; and driving faster with more lane changing. Its been only two days, yet I feel very different. I can't wait to have my family back and have life return to normal.
But that will all change tonight, when I pick up Jenna and the babies ("the kids" makes me sound rather old) after trick-or-treating in Dayton. Lily will be a flamingo. Ben will be Dracula. A 4-week-old Dracula.
I've been listening to some old jazz CDs lately. I realize I may be able to get back into the genre again now that my job doesn't require 8 hours of constant concentration. I like some Big Band, but mostly "cool" jazz, particularly Miles' Birth of the Cool days. His later stuff is a little too abstract for me to get lost in.
Guess who I re-discovered? Ashley Bradford, who is out in Long Beach, CA these days.
NBA Basketball (is that redundant?) starts tonight, and I couldn't care less. Wake me up when college basketball season starts! (for my Maryland Terrapins, that would be Nov. 11) For all you English majors, should I put any punctuation after that last close-parenthesis? Or is it bad form to write a fragment in parentheses after the previous sentence has been properly punctuated? These are the things I need to know!
