Today is the first day of vacation. Logan woke up earlier than he does on a school day, when you need to drag him out of bed. I'm a little tired, as I went out with some fellow teachers last night to celebrate the end of this stretch of school. I wasn't out long but enough to be....tired...this morning.

That being said, I have not seen Robert Altman's "Popeye" in a very long time, but for some reason this song was stuck in my head when I woke up.

And I am feeling a little babbly this morning. I am not sure why. I had a good blogpost in my head yesterday morning when I couldn't sleep at around 4:00 am, but instead of getting up and writing it, I let it slip away.

I think I will spend some time reading some of your blogs and some Facebook stuff more closely this morning. With some cursory looks yesterday, I finally figured out why VASmacky has Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso time on his wonderful blog, was reminded that The Armchair Squid was born in Japan, and BubbaShelby remains far funnier and cleverer in his MANY blogs than any one person should be allowed.

So, I've got no real ending for this. I need my wife to wake up so I can have some coffee. I need to find a hotel room in Albany for next weekend. And I've got the whole day ahead of me!
