Chai tea, snowflakes and cat purr.

I just got off a night shift. The first 11.75 hours of which was awesome, the last .25 hours of which were terrible. In my line of work it is always good to be reminded that no matter how uncomplicated things appear initially, I must always be on guard. Good to be reminded of, but never an easy lesson.

The love of my life was waiting for me this morning with a warm truck, a licky puppy and open arms. Smiling, I accepted the gifts of love and made it home to my warm bed and a good sleep. Upon awakening, dusk was beginning - but the sky was clear brilliant blue. Tonight I shall walk the aforementioned licky puppy under a canopy of twinkling stars while my boots and long-johns keep me toasty. Until that voyage, I type and reminisce while drinking hot chai and enjoy the hypnotic rhythm of a striped cat.

Thanks Be to God.

Bah-bah-dee-dah

Eric has been digging up some great tunes lately. One I have been particularly enjoying is a remix of a 1950's original "Pa-Pa Amerikano" performed by the artists Yolanda Be Cool and DCUP and renamed "We Speak No Americano". This little diddy makes me smile and is a great tune to cook supper too. Check out the YouTube video below.


My favorite part of this video is the chase sequence at the very end. Makes me think of the Ministry of Silly Walks...if we could only all be so awesome.
