"Huddle Formation" by British sextet The Go! Team popped on as I was scrubbing my dishes this evening. Today's lesson of note: Late night dishwashing + bouncing in place = a dripping mess of water & soapy suds on my countertops & floor. And in my hair.

I had to change my pajamas. Listen to the song, and you'll understand—but good god, just stay away from your faucet.
Huddle Formation - The Go! TeamIn unrelated happenings, I tweeted this recently, but it still makes me laugh. I had the following exchange with a homeless guy in San Jose on Friday afternoon:
homeless guy (as I passed, my 6'1 frame eclipsing the sun): Wow, do
you play basketball?
me: Nope.
homeless guy: Well, do you bowl?
me (glancing back): Um, not
often.
homeless guy (forlornly): Maaaan, we have NOTHING in common!
I couldn't help but stop in my tracks, turn, and grin at him. He smiled & laughed. It was brief—but we shared a moment there, mister homeless guy & me ....

That's kind of cute. Whenever a homeless person approaches me, his/her subsequent questions/claims/demands are a whole lot more disturbing.

I know, right? I actually think homeless ppl in the bay area are a lot nicer than ppl I've encountered in other cities. Strange but true, in my opinion!
Anyways, he had a sense of humor. He was nice. :)

Most of my traumatizing encounters with the homeless have happened in the Bay Area, strangely enough. Come to think of it, most happened in a 15-minute period outside the Olympic Hotel, which, if you've never been inside, is a whole lot like the hotel in The Shining, only smaller and dirtier.
However, San Fran is also home to The Bushman.

I wish our Ohio folks were as cool as that guy. Love the story :)
