The Pristine Spleen from Aberdeen

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I must confess that I'm not wearing green today. The color slipped my mind as I dressed this morning. Instead, I'm wearing black, blue, brown, burgundy and white. And despite any image you may have, they do go together.

To remedy the whole situation, I might have a salad for lunch. If the luck of the Irish is with me, a piece of lettuce will get stuck between my teeth. I reckon it isn't the most fashionable way to wear green, but it's likely the most nutritional.

I still intend on posting more photos and thoughts from Yosemite. I know I have the bad habit of only recounting the first day or so of a trip before abandoning it. It's not that I lose interest. The events just seem to go stale and lose their freshness. Of course, if I were reading this journal, I'd find the unfinished travelogues utterly frustrating. This is a promise to myself to break the habit and finish chronicling the trip.

To end this random post, here is today's Calvin and Hobbes, which made me laugh and nod at the same time.

Hobbes: What a busy day! I'm pooped!
Calvin: Mom says the roads are pretty clear, so school will probably open again tomorrow. Now I wish I'd done my math homework instead of playing outside all day... or I wish I'd done it before dinner... or after dinner... or instead of watching TV... or before bed. But now it's too late. A day can really slip by when you're deliberately avoiding what you're supposed to do.

By the way, I couldn't think an entry title, so I wrote the first three words that came to mind and rhymed with the color of Kermit.
