It’s a brand new day

February 6, 2009

You know how it feels when you finish something? I am on that high today. Now, basins are only a very small part of my life, and after they have been updated I will have to check them, and at least two other things landed in my lap yesterday.

But still, just having finished something feels good. And the girl is coming down next week, and even though it is raining today it is supposed to be nicer tomorrow and we can take a long walk.
On Sunday I will address all of those other things lurking in the wings

Speaking of lurking – here is my favorite quote on the subject, from ‘Good Omens’ by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman,
Two of them lurked in a ruined graveyard. Two shadowy figures, one hunched and squat, the other lean and menacing, both of them Olympic-grade lurkers. If Bruce Springsteen had ever recorded “Born to Lurk,” these two would have been on the album cover. They had been lurking in the fog for over an hour now, but they had been pacing themselves and could lurk for the rest of the night if necessary, with still enough sullen menace left for a final burst of lurking around dawn.”
