Success

Born on this day in 1803, Ralph Waldo Emerson; a man whose work I keep meaning to read more of than just his most quoted sentences. But, hey, so far I have not. I like that Emerson would not consider this a failure. This gem is one of his (and it's a safe bet there will be no 'take backs'):

Venice in a Day

This Italian Toytown on Water vid via The Presurfer makes me happy, reminiscey and starts my imaginary webbed feet itching all at the same time.

Second Best Eve

Friday really is the best day of the work week thus Friday has the best evening and eve. For people who have worked Monday to Friday for most of their working life this is no revelation. But having come late to the 9-5 (8:30, whatever) cliche, my joy of Friday has blossomed gradually over the last 18 months. The arms-reach prospect of two whole days to fill [mostly] at my will is, dare I say it - why yes I do: the expectation is better than the days themselves. Gosh darn their diminishing nature!

So yeah, yay Friday - nice of you to show up. In the mean time, Hellooooo Thursday; Friday Eve; second best eve of the week!

Move over sista, it's Thursday!

Mondays Off

Not having to work on a Monday is wonderful on so many levels.
