I’ve been looking forward to April for a few weeks now. It marks the start of spring in my mind, and that’s a good thing. But it hasn’t been much of a month so far. Friday night (still March, but what the heck), I came home from work and never made it out to the Auto Body Experience show that night. I just wasn’t feeling very good. Saturday, a friend that I’d like to see was in town from Duluth, and there was also a party in the ’burbs to attend. Did neither. Sunday, I made it out for another friend’s birthday, but called it an early evening there after a little more than an hour. So what did I do over the weekend? Not a heck of a lot. Mostly went to bed early and slept late, and hoped that I’d be feeling better when it was time to head off to work this morning. Doesn’t seem to have worked especially well.

But hey, there’s pictures of horsies on the carousel this week. Today I start with a couple of horse’s heads. Anything especially notable about them? Not that I know of. But they’re something to get the week started. You’ve gotta start somewhere, right?
And “starting somewhere” is going to be a challenge today. I need to get going for the week, both for work and around home. I got something of a start by doing a load of laundry this morning. Next up is a session of bill-paying, hoping that the direct deposit from work actually worked. And when that’s done, I need to decide whether to go to work today or not. I’m feeling cruddy and might just use that one personal day I’ve accumulated. Sorry for the “down” tone of the update this morning.
- If you forgot to Spring Forward yesterday morning, here are some handy instructions on resetting your clock.
- Wired News has what they call Steve Jobs’ Best Quotes Ever. Could be. [kottke]
- The Pentagon Plans Explosion at Nevada Site 65 miles NW of Las Vegas. 700 tons of ANFO. Not surprisingly, Plans for Massive Blast in Nev. Draw Fire. Among the criticisms is that there’s a lot of radioactive dust sitting around in the test area that just might get stirred up by a big kaboom. [boing boing and fark!]
- Last week the US Senate Considered Coburn/Obama “Show Us the Money” Amendment to Put Government Spending on Public Database. Trent Lott shot it down because he doesn’t see how knowing where the pork is going might have anything to do with ethics in Congress. [instapundit]
- Winchester, or U.S. Repeating Arms, isn’t so much going Out With A Bang as with a whimper. I’ve never owned a Winchester, but I keep my eyes open for one. Gotta like something that hasn’t much changed since 1894 and still gives the modern competition a run for its money. Plus it came from New Haven, Connecticut, the
Silicon Valley of the Industrial Revolution.
