It’s Saturday! GOD BLESS AMERICA!

I tried to get in for an oil change at my local dealer (cause I wanted them to look at something else) and they rejected me. Well, they said I could “leave it” and they’d fit it in, but I don’t feel like sitting in the waiting room for 5 hours. They only get one channel on the tv in the waiting room, and unlike Saturn, there is no bagel and beverage area. Not that I’m tied to car dealer bagels, but I don’t have a ride, so I’d be trapped. If they were located next to a shopping mall or a movie theater, we’d be talking a whole different ball game.

So if you see me next week, I’m the one with dirty oil.

Yesterday at our monthly company meeting, they had make-your-own sundaes. That was very very cool. But now it’s Friday afternoon and I’m just wondering why they didn’t let us finished up the leftovers today. There was enough for everyone to have a 2nd bowl, that’s for sure.

Instead, I found a new blog I like, and added it to the link list. I hope someday someone links to mine. (And trust me, I’ll know when you do.)

This guy, James Lileks , gets paid to do what I want to do. Gosh, I’m jealous. I’m also a huge fan. I recently bought one of his old out-of-print books on Amazon, and now I have to buy the rest. But more importantly, I need to buy his NEW book.

I’ve written about him in the Dump before. I love his work.

I think I’m going to give the chili a final score of 2 to my 0. A worthy opponent. I won’t be doing THAT again soon.

But in the freaky “someone is playing with your world” arena, I was at my mom’s after work to pick up my son, and she said “Hey, do you want to stay for dinner? I made chili.” What are the odds? What are they?!

(No, I didn’t stay. I would have had to sleep out in the back yard. But darn, it would have been nice to not have to make supper.)
