I am not looking forward to tomorrow-- my grandmother's funeral-- for
reasons of the living, actually. See also the Winter bummed item.

The divorce goes on. (My wife is divorcing me.) It's time to enter a
new item about it.

We had our last practice for the club hockey team today. Relieved as I am to
not be in charge of it all (tm) anymore, I'm now gonna be bored and hockey-
less for the next six months, except on Sundays. Time to look into a summer
league.

IBB I went to bake a cake and was so tired afterwards, I thought I
would take a nap, but missed the timer and burned the cake. Not so
bad a loss because we had an extra cake mix, but still, waste of a
perfectly good cake.

IBB All Songs Considered does not actually list the songs sampled during All
Things Considered. Of course, even if it did, it probably wouldn't help
because the sample I want to identify was part of Morning Edition.

I need to find a new job. I don't know how the company I am working for is
going to stay in business another month. I went to the job fair this lat
monday and there were several hundred people there talking to the less than
20 organizations looking to hire people. I was toldf by one person at a local
hospitl connected to a local university that unless I was a nurse, there was
little hopeof getting a job with them unless I knew someone who worked there
and could get me an in.
makes me think the same is true for the local university they are affiliated
with.

In reference to the happy item, I did NOT enjoy how I felt today. I never
thought a human being could feel so sad. Now I know where "heartbreak" comes
from.

gelinas in resp:7 :: to find tunes used as "bumpers" in weekday
All Things Considered and Morning Edition shows, look at the
section of those shows' web pages where they list every story
played, in order. Between the story descriptions are detailed
listings of the tune snippets. (The link on the Morning Edition
page is called, "Experience By Segment.")

got some very bad news about a very close friend. I don't have the
whole story yet, but I'm really worried about them.

IBB I didn't end up getting the super cool combinatorics research summer
internship thing I was looking at.
Guess what else that means? I get to take summer classes.

The head of Ann Arbor Solid Waste, who said he was working on changing city
laws to prevent the newspaper companies from trashing people's properties,
sent me a summary of proposed new legislation (open for public debate April
15). It essentially requires delivery companies to toss onto lawns instead of
extensions or public sidewalks, and fines the victims if they do not remove
unwanted papers from their lawns, rather than the perpetrators who are
throwing them there.
This would accomplish the solid waste department's goal of not seeing trash
in people's yards and on sidewalks (it does not say what happens if the
delivery companies keep throwing it on sidewalks) but does not stop the people
who are throwing the trash there from continuing to throw it.

Ain't democracy wonderful! You asked them to change the laws, and they came
up with a change!

Re 16, if they enforced existing laws they would not need new ones.
I wrote asking who they plan to bill for cleanup if the newsprint ends up on
the sidewalk or extension. One of my neighbors throws his Tuesday trash there
every week hoping the city will take it away the next trash day. And pointed
out that it is already illegal to leave trash in your yard and to throw it
there in the first place but nobody is enforcing those laws.

Re 12: Thank you, Ken. Looks like the song I heard was "Java" by Floyd
Cramer.

Going off the medication I was on that caused me to be chronically depressed
is now making me go into withdrawal--i.e., more depression. This *sucks*.

IBB when I went to practice roller-blading yesterday, I was missing the
most important piece of safety gear: my helmet. Thus, I used an extra
truckload of caution yesterday.
