After seeing the first part of Ken Burns' new series Mark Twain, I was pleased to find a copy of "A Tramp Abroad" as I was browsing the used book shelf at the library. Then I picked up "Daydream Nation" by Sonic Youth and "The Gentle Side of John Coltrane" in the cutout bin at Tower Records. I hadn't realized that Sonic Youth were the creators of "Teenage Riot", a song that brought back memories of the days of punk. It's now time to figure out what books must go; there's no more room in the bookshelves.

Luckily Monday is a holiday so that my first week of work will be a short one. Not sure I'm ready to return to working longer hours, in fact I'm real sure I'm not ready, but when are we ever ready for most changes in our lives.

Neil Young is coming to town in March. Too bad he's bringing his geezer friends. I'm real tempted to get tickets just to see him. I've got until 10 a.m. tomorrow to decide.
