1.  Monopoli was fucking awesome last night.  I haven't seen them in probably 6 months, and they've definitely gotten better.  I like the new material also.  Word is that the album has been recorded and is now being mixed.  Possible CD release party in June.

2.  I sat through an entire show at the Cat while drinking and did not smoke a single cigarette.  This was a milestone for me, believe it or not.

3.  I got up early enough to eat breakfast today and be at work before nine.  That, folks, is a miracle.

4.  Walter is meeting a potential adopter tonight.  It will be good for him to be in a home with someone who isn't gone 15 hours a day.

5.  Yeah, this post sucks, and it's probably all you're going to get for today.   I'm in a good mood, so it will probably be late evening before the bitterness returns.
