Completely depressing.

Jon and I had to get those small VHS tapes for the office palm-size video recorder in order to video tape a street adjacent to a client's job site. We went to Target. Nothing. OfficeMax. Nothing, although I did pick up some things we needed for the office. Jewel/Osco. Nothing.

Then we went into KMart and they had them. So we bought 6 tapes. That was fortuitious, because a later meeting with the client determined we hadn't video taped everything he wants done. Plus, if we use up these 6, we'll know where to go.

As we were walking out of the store, the cart guy says, "Only 4 months to Christmas! Get your shopping done now! Four months, to the day, until Christmas."

It's a gorgeous day today with highs around 80 and a nice breeze. I drove to the meeting and we rode topless. You could not ask for better weather for convertible driving. It was downright depressing to contemplate that in 2 months, we could have snow. I need to figure out how to get the wipers fixed.

Talk about a cold glass of water on a beautiful day. We are busier than we were last year at this time so perhaps this will bode well for the season of giving. Jingle bells? Ho-ho-ho? Nah, not now. Bah humbug!

Beverage: Water
