Under the Weather

[days_unfolding]

I had a splitting headache, so I emailed work and lay down this morning. I had a strange dream in which I bought a gun "because I was traveling a lot". Huh? The closest thing to trouble that I had at my aunt's house was when a skunk walked right past me :) The skunk apparently had somewhere to go and didn't bother me. I still have the headache and am achy (flu shot side effect?)

I made an appointment for Friday with the junk removal guy.

There is a nice concert going on this weekend at Allerton Park, which is Central Illinois' answer to Ravinia, but I don't think that I can do it because I'm going up to Chicago. Next year for sure. They also have "Yoga Under the Stars" events.

My headache came back. I tried to lie down again after work, but couldn't sleep. I think that it's going to be a quiet night tonight, sorting out my wicker chest and doing homework.

I watched excerpts from QE II's funeral. It looked like a nice funeral. The most notable moment was when they were singing, God Save the King" at the internment ceremony, and you could just see the weight hit Charles. And the piper playing and walking away was a nice touch. (I still think that I want John Lennon's recording of "No One Told Me Here Would Be Days Like These" played at my memorial service.)

I'm hooked on VASAviation's YouTube videos, which replay recordings of communications between Air Traffic Controllers and pilots. My favorite (humorous) is this one. There are some sobering ones too, including a mid-air collision between two Cessnas at Watsonville.
