As I shuffle iTunes, I randomly land on The Rolling Stones’ Tumbling Dice, a fun rollicking song with two of my favorite elements that are far too infrequently included in rock songs, rhythm piano accompaniment and a gospel choir. Trust me, I don’t dance much, but this is one of those songs that if it doesn’t at least get your toes tapping, you seriously need to check to see if you still have a soul. J
I recently downloaded a Microsoft Outlook “add-on” called
Xobni (pronounced “zob-nee”, which is actually “inbox” spelled backwards). The program, which I’ve been playing around with for the past couple of days provides an amazing ability to both organize my mail as well as track it and provide interesting if not useful stats! Lot’s of fun.
Anyway, the sad news of the week is that the $400 new radiator I needed was just the tip of the iceberg. What I learned recently is that not only did I need a new radiator, but a new head gasket as well. Luckily my mechanic is extremely knowledgeable and demonstrated exactly why this was the case. Apparently my exhaust was backing up into the cooling system, and that’s just not cool (notice the amazing math teacher humor)!
Tonight the Mets take on the Dodgers at Chavez Ravine, and if I can find a ride I’ll probably be able to make it to the game. The last time I saw the Mets last year, it was an absolute blowout in which the Mets utterly destroyed the Dodgers and then went on to kick themselves out of the playoffs by losing 12 of their final 17. Yuck.
