The best part of my day was leaving for work this morning and walking to the garage. I look up and the sky was dark, clear, and I saw Orion in the sky. Clear as a bell. Lots of other stars, but Orion stood out. Knowing how to identify Orion was one of the things that have stayed with me from my freshman year astronomy class. I’m a whiz at identifying constellations and various stars within. One of the things I’d like to do sometime is to go to the Arizona desert, or up in a mountain somewhere—away from city lights—and star gaze.
I’ve started a “Life List.” You know, a list of things you want to do while you still can and before your Life’s Bucket is kicked. I think I’ll put “Do more star gazing” on it.
I asked BP to name things he wants to do, and we had some of the same things in common.
Here’s a partial list. Try to see if you can identify which are MY items and which are BP’s:
Build a submarine
Take pilot lessons
Produce alternative biofuels
Take a train trip through India
Learn conversational French
Visit British Columbia
The rest of the work day sucked—all our email, internet connections, were down and will be down until tomorrow afternoon. So I spent most of the day reading.
I’m going to pay some bills and then enjoy an evening of fine television viewing: Survivor, 30 Rock and The Office.
Tomorrow morning I have a teeth cleaning appointment!

Wasn't Survivor fucking great when that airhead pulled out the wrong immunity idol? I almost felt bad for her, but considering I don't feel for anyone, I smirked and ate a twinkie instead. -blu
I absolutely adore Gravedigger James. He's my favorite Survivor in a long long time. I thought it was endearing when he confessed to having a little crush on Lunch Lady Denise because she had a strong work ethic.
Plus he's got one smokin' bod
Todd reminds me of the past Survivor contestant Rob C...who loved the strategy part of the game....remember him? I laughed when Todd said Jaime was "riding the tricycle in the back and needed to catch up" I pick Amanda to win.
Tell BP I'll take the train ride through India with him.
