Happy Sort of Surprise

A colleague of mine is a Me'Shell Ndegeocello fan, and had never heard the cover of "Wild Night" that she played on with John Mellencamp. Knowing I had it, I looked it up on my laptop, only to realize that (gasp!) I had forgotten to load it. So, when I ran home at lunch, I grabbed my copy of it to take back and play for her, and to add to my iTunes collection. Then, the surprise: I had forgotten that I had a whole drawer, about 2 feet wide and a foot deep, filled with CDs that I had not added to my collection yet. John Mellencamp, Harry Connick, Jr., plus some great, less popular stuff, like Shadowy Men On A Shadowy Planet (they did the theme to Kid's in the Hall), Dick Dale, some classical compilations... Well, like I said, a whole freakin' drawer of stuff. Sometimes I get so busy, I forget to enjoy some of the things I worked to have. This was just the kind of surprise that a day like this needed.

Also, for those that might care, Moose have a logo now. Our manager tells me jerseys will be here in about 4 weeks, and they did have a real goalie cut jersey for me!
