Euphoria, meet Early Tuesday morning

I awoke at dawn this morning and, despite my greatest efforts, could not recommence my brief slumber. Fearing that I've become my mother (who considers sleeping till 6, sleeping in), I decided to put the kettle on and go about my day.

Sometime whilst the Starbucks Italian Roast brewed, it hit me.

10/16/07 J.E.W. Chase This Light.

After trudging through some 50 pages of writing center pedagogy and theory (and downing two cups of Italian Roast) I dressed and hopped in the Jeep.

Mission: favorite band's latest release retrieval. Initiate retrieval operation! POST HASTE!

I bore the rather dense fog, fully prepared to risk life and limb, en route to Walmart. I made a beeline to the electronics section and there it was, resting on its commerical throne. Only $13.98!!! They roll those prices back, in case you haven't seen the commercials. I would have happily forked over a fifty. God bless you, Wally World.

This is a good day, methinks.
