Tic Tac Tic Tac

I am going to ignore the fact that there have been very few posts, and that there is a documentation gap for the past couple of weeks. I expect also that this has had a negative effect on my readership.

I have mentioned this song before, and it is, without a doubt, one of the strangest (good) I have ever heard.

I am finally reasonably organized after my move. It was the worst move of my life because I was so incredibly stupid about it. I was lulled into a false sense of security because, distance-wise, it was such a short move. If I had had to rent a truck, I would have packed everything into boxes and labeled them and stacked them neatly, and placed them in the appropriate rooms. Instead, I filled up recycling boxes with all my crap, hauled them upstairs, realized that I still needed the boxes, found an open space on a bed or on the floor, and dumped. The whole process made a gigantic mess and I've been living in chaotic disarray.

I got out of dodge for the weekend, and, while it was rainy, I had a great weekend away: a trip to the local bakery for danishes and beached all-purpose flour hot dog and hamburger buns, a canoe around (some of) the lake, a little reading, the Saturday Globe and Mail and its fabulous Sudoku, and, despite the clouds, some lounging on the dock.

The strangest thing just happened. After completing the above paragraph, I became very concerned about the location of my phone. I felt my pockets and looked around the room. I wondered if maybe I had left it downstairs and, if so, where. I wondered, briefly, how many calls I might have missed and how great it would be if there was an interesting message waiting for me when, and if, I found it.

Just like that, it started ringing. It was on my bedside table, and as I walked across the room, I remembered that I had spoken to my Dad just before bed. Everything made sense except the fact that the idea of telephone entered my head seconds before the telephone rang.

I'm starting to settle into a more normal routine, and I expect that I will be posting with more regularity.
