Leaving for the Weekend

I've been good in terms of updating this daily. I am leaving for Norwalk tonight, and I cannot promise that I will update daily, if at all, though I am hoping to get something in on Memorial Day.

It's going to be a non-stop weekend. I’ll be getting home at about 9:30, and probably have to go straight to bed in order to get up in time for the trip to NYC tomorrow. Even before that, as soon as I get home from work I do last minute packing and I'm out the door to the airport. It will be a miracle if I don't forget anything.

I am excited to go home. I have errands to run, including potentially buying a new computer. This will also be my first Memorial Day parade in about three years. I hope the old men on the little cars are there.

The cicadas are constantly pushing the envelope. Every day I think there are more, and the next day there are even more than that. On the subway this morning I felt something crawling up my neck, and sure enough, it was a cicada. It was the second to the last stop so thankfully I was spared the embarrassment of a bug on my back. They're big suckers, too, if you've never seen one.

Potentially when we get back, the cicadas will be almost gone. Looking back on this whole affair, it wasn't quite the biblical plague some people expected, but the cicadas were plentiful. I would be curious to get out to the suburbs. With all the trees there, the cicada population is expected to be much denser in those areas.

I am confident the human race will survive the cicada invasion of 2004. We're safe....but only for the next seventeen years....

Mwuhahahahahahaha.......
