The snow will start to fly any time now. Another 5 inches by tomorrow morning. I sort of feel melancholy today. I dunno, nothing specific. Maybe I just need a nap. It’s been kind of a poky day here at the office and I’ve been bored with merely surfing online. Haven’t felt inspired to write anything much till now.

Last night, Andy and I went for a drink at Sidetrack. Our favorite bartender was working. She’s a very nice lady in her early 40’s who wears glasses; in a weird way she reminds me of someone’s mom. She makes excellent cocktails. Vodka tonics for Andy and Sapphire Gin martinis with a twist for me. They were playing the crappiest music videos last night. I never thought (or hoped) I’d ever say this, but Kylie Minogue was the evening’s highlight. I like all the places to sit there, but they never have any drink specials. So it sure wasn’t any bargain. I swear, I was the youngest guy there. For some reason it made me feel old, not young. I got a couple of looks. Shrug. For some reason, Andy and I got into a fairly long conversation about Carrie Fisher and “Star Wars.” This is what alcohol does to you.

We were there a few hours. Then it was getting late and I felt overwhelmingly sleepy. We went home. I still feel sleepy. And here we are.
