It was a nice, crisp day, sunny and pleasant, despite it began with (Steve) scraping the first frost of the season off my car windows. I found my fall gloves with almost no searching at all, which was a Small, Pleasant Victory, and the day-job was busy, but neither hysterical nor mean-spirited.
I detoured on the way home in order to try my luck at winning a brand-new Ford Focus. Alas, the key that the advertising agency mailed to me was defective; it did not open the door of the Ford Focus on display at the local dealership. I offered to wander about the grounds until I found the correct car, but the salesman who had very quickly established that I was unlikely to be "turned" to a car-buyer today, declined to allow this. He did, however, enter me in a drawing for a gas grill, which I sincerely hope I do not win, and gave me a scratch-off lottery ticket, which ultimately proved to be a loser. Alack.
Departing the Ford dealership, I drove home by way of the Music Gallery in Beautiful Downtown Waterville, where I offered a small portion of my birthday gift certificate in trade for "Big Old Life" by Rani Arbo & Daisy Mayhem. I expect Steve and I will have some good listenin' over tonight's dinner.
The plan for tomorrow is to drive out early to the ocean, breakfast and see what happens next. Gonna be another day like this one, they say. Yum.
Progress on "Shadow Partner":
