Screwed by iPods, Esquire punch list incomplete

Dateline: In the Shire, Indy, 6 January 2006

Up at 0600 this morn, working Warren punch list on Esquire article solid til 1200, then shower and race to K-garten with Jerry. Today I am volunteer parent.


Then race home for more punch list items from Mark (by "punch list," I mean bits and pieces Mark wants written to cover the tape lines and zipppers he's been forced to apply in his slim-down edit and rearrange), working straight to 1930. Then race to pick up Kev at tutor's. Then home and my Mac is already lost to daughter's iTune downloading, so it's Leinenkugel Honey Weiss and Family Guy Vol. III DVDs for me til lights out.


Never should have let wife get older kids iPods. Now we'll want to go all Mac (not bad idea). Plus, I discover I am closet Coldplay fan!


Oo! ... oooo-wooo-oooo-woooo ... aaaah!


Home ... Home ... Where I wanted to go ...


As Stewie would say: "Damn! Damn you all for thwarting my plans!"


And you can't be surprised by the FG fixation. After all, we're ex-Rhodies.


Damn! Damn them all!


I return to the punch list first thing in the morn ...
