one never knows...

when something will set one on a weepy moment.
this morning on the way in i was listening to Red Hot by Divisi, the women's acappella group from Univ of Oregon (featuring Lisa Forkish, daughter of Tim's first boss in the south bay)...and the last song on the cd has the words "you will always be my baby." and it just hit me. and here i thought there were days passing when i didn't cry. well, they may have happened, but today was not one of them.

gas was $2.13 tonight at costco. pretty good until i saw $2.11 at valero on the way home. but i get 3% cash back on my costco gas purchase. 3% of $4 is more than 3% of $2.13 but it's all good. i won't be purchasing much stuff at costco after this year anyway. like the 5300 Q-tips. that's a really big supply for me. anyone need some Q-tips? i'm happy to share.

so the Calif Supreme Court will hear the petitions about Prop 8. ironic that Jerry Brown as the state Atty General has to argue the side of the passage of the totally wrong headed proposition. a huge slew of documents is available online via the courage campaign website. lots and lots of pages. just heard on TV that the case will be heard after March.

the dow-jones is down 40% for the year. holy cow. below 8000 today. well i guess that's the other side of $2.13/gallon gas.

i'm ordering a new custom cat tree. no glue. real wood. designed for big cats. i think he deserves it.

i need sleep. don't we all?
