Off Topic

I get my inspiration from many sources. Books, music, newspapers, happenings in my life and national something-or-other day.
The light bulb is not on today.

Today, I'm thinking about the events of the past week and crossing off the topics one by one. Too serious. Too work-related. Too awful.

So I decided to go to Facebook and see if I could become inspired there. I guess there are folks who could be sparked by a video of a happy dog getting a bath. This just didn't work for me. (Although I do want to go back and read the article about why cats feel the need to accompany you to the bathroom.)

I was glad about the marriage equality vote passing in Ireland. The final episode of Mad Men was entertaining and bittersweet. Enjoyed some pics from my favorite photographer from Japan, Takahiro Yamamoto. Made a mental note to go back and re-read John Steinbeck's Winter of Our Discontent, listen to Girl from Ipanema and watch some old George Carlin routines. 

Still, there were no stand-out topics I wanted to broach today. So, rather than forcing things, I'm giving my loyal readers a day off. I hope you enjoy your three days away from the office/school/daily grind and do something that makes you feel great.

As for me, it's my turn to scoop the poop and hang with my buddies at the cat shelter. So therapeutic. And a special announcement for all of you who also live and breathe the printed word: Half Price Books is having a 20% off sale.

So you know where Mr. and I will be!
