Earworm

Do you get Earworms? 

If you don't know what they are, the Kennedy Center website has a nice writeup on them. Go read it and come back! 

Okay. So now you know. Earworms are loops of parts of songs that just play over and over in your head and you can't stop them. Today my earworm is one of the guitar solo parts of Neil Young's "Down By The River." 



Only, the album version, with the "oooooooo la la la la, ooh la la la-la part," and the electric guitar bits. I just like this acoustic version, and there isn't a good version of the electric version online that isn't just album audio. So go enjoy. Go enjoy Neil. 

Doug once told me that Frosty The Snowman has been stuck in his head for years. YEARS.  Which is bad. 

My earworms change a lot. Over the weekend last weekend I had Black Cow by Steely Dan stuck in my head. Better than 20+ years of Frosty.

Had a good but busy day. Got the final piece of info I need for the big DNS project to close out (yay!) and emails to send. Had an amazing catch-up with one of my Boston colleagues who left the job before our office closed but is now like super director of brand marketing high level dudeness, and it was a riot. I love that guy. So happy he works with us again. I did an indoor walk while Doug was walking Toffee, and Geoff and I got dinner started and pushed to 30 minutes somehow. Pausing to check an office issue/outage for our big product and our devs were handling it. Remarkably, no helpdesk tickets. And then Toffee and I went for a pokemon walk for a little bit just to push up the step count. There were so many dogs out there that I cut the walk short rather than try to play pokemon and deal with the leash and control the dog. 

Geoff has tomorrow off (we do too) and he's working all weekend. So tomorrow is the day to do some yard work, I guess. Hoping it isn't 900 degrees. I've got some porcelain berries to kill. He's got a lawn to mow. I'd almost rather work.
