I love it when a plan…aw, you know…
My beloved spouse turns on the TV each morning to keep her company while she rides her exercise bike (like my snoring isn’t good enough). Unfortunately, the choices at that time are limited to news, infomercials, and shows like The A-Team.
The choice is obvious.
It’s one thing to be awakened by the soft, dulcet tones of Mr. T (“I ain’t flyin’, fool!”). It’s quite another to start dreaming fully-developed A-Team plots…which is what I did in my mostly asleep state this morning.
It kept weaving in and out of the sound that I thought I was hearing on television. So, I don’t know how much of it was “real” and how much was a dream. But it was a really good episode with Murdock driving a train and then flying a plane down a San Francisco street, while the team tried to simultaneously rescue a kidnapped Chinese diplomat’s daughter and escape the clutches of Colonel Lynch, who caught Hannibal and Face (for some reason Hannibal was talking like B.A. whenever he was interrogated). I think it was the best A-Team episode. Ever.
And now, one of my favorite bits of dialogue. Ever.
B.A. Baracus: Gimme a cup of coffee!
Diner Clerk: How do you want it?
B.A. Baracus: In a cup, fool!

July 5: Track of the Day!
“Like Sailors Do” is the July 5 Track of the Day in Folk at Garageband.com.
Have a Happy 4th!
Computer goodness has taken a back seat to real non-computer goodness these past few days. For one thing, I was kidnapped after work on Friday (my birthday…and, no, I won’t be offended if you send your fabulous gifts late), and I was taken to an Indian restaurant.
Yes, you heard me correctly. My family–the ones who never listen to me when I suggest different culinary experiences–decided that a good birthday present would be for them to suck it up and go someplace I’ve been whining about going for years. Not only that…they loved it! Score!
After that, we went to see Superman Returns, which wasn’t as bad as I feared. It was waaaaay better than the last two in the Christopher Reeves series, and technically they were probably better than any of them. I’m just not a huge Superman fan. Give me Spidey any day.
Most of the weekend has been taken up with the Terrible Cutenessssss™ My brother from Georgia is down, and we’re gettng to see our niece for the first time. If you have your cute-sensitive eye protection on, I’ll show you…

Remind me to buy a Lotto ticket
About a year ago, the gas gauge on my 13-year-old car decided that it was tired of telling me how much fuel was in the tank. So, on my way to work this morning, I thought that I might want to stop at one of the three 7-11’s along the route.
Ya know how you just sorta get in the car and sleep-drive yourself to and from work? Um, yeah…
So, about a quarter-way between the 1st and 2nd gas stations, I got that sinking feeling that I was about to have a traffic incident. The car sputtered, and I begged it to let me do a u-turn and make it back to the 7-11.
Well, I got the u-turn out of it, but that was about it. I tried to pull over to the left side of the road just as a wide-load tractor trailer came barreling up behind me with a huge dump truck on its right giving it no place to move over. I gritted my teeth and prepared for the earth-shattering ka-boom. I survived the encounter by the barest of whiskers and got out to start pushing the car off the road.
Within 2 minutes, a pickup truck pulled up behind me, and a guy got out and asked what was wrong. When I told him, he said, “Hey! I got fuel.” Then, he hauled out a plastic gas can and filled me up with enough to make it to the store.
Totally cool, no?

Send your virtual hugs
If you have a spare moment, please send a prayer to Joz. Her father collapsed this weekend with a severe brain hemmorhage. 🙁

Finally!
It was sent to them in April, but apparently it takes fo-evah to get your junk put up. But, at last, the CD is on iTunes!
It really takes patience to get online. Out of 32 companies to which CD Baby has delivered the music, only iTunes and the following have actually come through with a link (so far): Buy.com, Interia (Poland), and MP3-Extension.
