I recently watched the movie, Catch and Release. The main female character is “Gray,” played by Jennifer Garner. That same day, I cracked open a new novel (which you’ll hear about on Sunday) with a male secondary character named “Gray.”

I don’t know anyone named Gray.

My mp3 player is less than a year old, but there’s already a short in the earphone wire. If I hold perfectly still, I get continuous sound through both ear pieces, but if I move around at all, then the sound cuts in and out of both pieces. I’m never sitting still when I listen to the mp3 player, which probably explains the short to begin with.

We’ve got someone running for State House named “Cheezem.” If that guy’s not handing out cheese on some street corner every afternoon during rush hour, I think he’s missing a great advertising opportunity.

Some time ago, Mike inadvertently made our computer screen saver a random slide show of all the images on our computer. Now and then, pictures pop up that I’ve forgotten about or that I want to see again, but then I can’t find them on the computer. I’ve been looking for an image (or series of images–there’s never just one) I call “purple mountains majesty” that popped up one day. Mike knows the one I mean. We took it in the Blue Ridge Mountains. I haven’t found it yet.

But I did find this one, which I wanted for my Rock Kick, but failed to track down until recently.
