more on today

I went for lunch at a local pub today, where they have a good soup-n-sandwich deal. They were playing 90s music and it was soooo nice, and even better yet they were putting up a Christmas tree inside, all piney smelling and everything. Seeing people decorate Christmas trees is especially welcome when you don't have a home or a tree of your own. On Sunday when I was walking to/from church, people were setting up trees for sale all the way down the street, and it was so tempting to get one, but then i pictured putting it next to my bunk in the hostel... and then carrying it on the plane to Norway... then the train... then the ferry... and needless to say thought the better of it.

Hey I just got a great idea!

Heard on the radio that there was a major ice storm in Central America. Wow!! (This is why it pays to be aware of geographic lingo, or it might sound like the earth has turned sideways.) Hope everyone's doing ok.

I also heard something on the radio about old bands successfully getting back together, 'like the Spice Girls and the Police'. Can those two possibly go in the same conversation, especially in that order??
