Oh, What a Beautiful Morning

Friday, July 25, 2008

Sometimes it's news when it's not miserable. No severe thunderstorms, hail, floods, twisters or monster heat waves are predicted for today. In fact, just close your eyes and imagine some palm trees, and you could be in San Diego. How will you celebrate?

Watching the Weather Channel shows I recorded yesterday because I had to go to the office...

take a dip in Edgemont Park, maybe? Cheaper than a mud pack and gives you that oh-so-Shrek-or-Fiona tinge.

It was so nice yesterday to turn off the AC and throw open all the windows in the house. Unfortunately I am at work and unable to enjoy the day but am thinking about leaving early to sit out on my porch with a nice summer drink and a good book!

Working but hope to get a little gardening in tonight.

makes me ALMOST want to retract that threat I made about moving somwhere dry and less taxed . . .

That's funny that you mentioned San Diego. I was just talking with someone visiting my office today from Cali and we both were thinking how much it seemed like a California kind of morning.

Conan, I'm the biggest weather geek I know, but recording the Weather Channel? Dude, you got it bad.

Posted by State Street Pete | July 25, 2008 9:57 AM
 

Weather Channel is the best!
Bill Keneely rocks!

Posted by monongahela | July 25, 2008 10:07 AM
 

Yeah, but Jim Cantore is bad ass.

Posted by State Street Pete | July 25, 2008 10:13 AM
 

It's a Ground Hog Day kind of thing, Pete. I have also been known to record CNN Headline news. It's really a cheap form of time travel... :)

I'm looking forward to taking a nice relaxing walk at lunchtime.

We recently came across a VHS tape of a program and there was a bit o' the old Weather Channel circa 1988! The graphics! The music! Nostalgia.

After the commutis horribilis of Wednesday night, when it took me three and half hours to get home (including an hour in the bar in Hoboken waiting for the Mets to implode, which they did not do, giving me at least some evidence that God may be good after all), I have decided to work from home today. So the trains can go off the rails and the wheels fall off the buses for all I care.

Posted by walleroo | July 25, 2008 11:58 AM
 

Great day to work from home.

Posted by jerseygurl | July 25, 2008 12:06 PM
 

As I am actually wrapping up a vacation in San Diego today, I suppose the nice weather back home will make the return a little less painful.

Posted by RaeVen | July 25, 2008 12:23 PM
 

And where were you on Wednesday night, jerseygurl? I looked for you at the bar, but couldn't find you (unless that was you dancing). Were you on your yacht, or at your ancestral palace in Bratislava? The paparazzi want to know.

Posted by walleroo | July 25, 2008 12:44 PM
 

Walleroony, I can't believe I missed your call.....I was on the 7:51 from Hoboken. I have found the Penn trains are not reliable because of that dang stretch of Amtrack owned tracks between Secaucus and Penn. Plus the attack on that woman next to me months ago made Penn even less appealing than usual. So it's the Path and Hoboken. I have only had one problem with delays in the 4 months since the switch.

And the Conan is now ensconced at the virtual Hampshire House in Boston, heading over to Fenway in an hour or two to watch my Beloved Boston Red Sox take on the highly-maligned (at least in these parts) Steinbrenner Athletic Club. Ah, er, uh,... go Sawx! And a free beer to the first person who sends in the poem about the lights on top of the old Prudential building on Boyslton street... :)

Posted by Conan | July 25, 2008 4:46 PM
 

Go sawks! Best I can do, not feeling poetic about the Pru.

Posted by jerseygurl | July 25, 2008 5:15 PM
 

Conan, you dog! I want a full report. Oh, I wish I were you, for the next few hours at least.

Posted by walleroo | July 25, 2008 5:19 PM
 

What a shame, jerseygurl, you were on the train I was trying to catch, but missed. Ah well, perhaps it just isn't in God's plan for our paths to cross.

Posted by walleroo | July 25, 2008 5:20 PM
 

The one night there was a problem I did find myself ensconced in the same bar. Perhaps it's all just leading up to a serendiptious date with kismet.

Posted by jerseygurl | July 25, 2008 5:24 PM
 

One does not "date" Kismet, jerseygurl. (Really, the things you have to be reminded of...it's almost as if you're a total know-nothing.)

And avoid, at all costs, any appointments others suggest in Samarra.

Posted by cathar | July 26, 2008 1:12 PM
 

I believe jg's reference is synonymous with "date with destiny"

Posted by Pokey | July 26, 2008 1:24 PM
 

Yes Pokey. Since Wally was referencing the christian version of the great plan, I wanted to be inclusive and follow up with the Arabic version of the concept of destiny. Private joke, wink wink, nudge nudge. I believe in neither.

No one wins. The old Prudential building on Boylston street in "Ouah Fayeh City" has red and blue lights that forecast the weather to the poem:

"Steady blue, fair and true;
Blinking blue, change is due.
Steady red, rain ahead;
Blinking red, snow instead."

(And, during baseball season, blinking red means the game has been called off.)

Sox sux. They played horribly, and the Yankees are playing pretty hot baseball. They ran and ran on Wakefield, which is what it takes. The last time the Sox stole a base, Keenesaw Mountain Landis was still commissioner...

Posted by Conan | July 27, 2008 10:19 AM
 

Whatever your personal belief system, jerseygurl, I still think you're a pretentious, condescending, ill-lettered twit.

Winkwink, nudgenudge to you too.
