Blurry eyes half bent
and I can't take you sober

We had an author come in and sign copies of his book last night. A former comedian that made me thankful for word "former." The fun came when, after signing copies of his book for a few hours, a book about what to do with guys your daughter might date, he went to the magazine section and hit on a girl that is maybe half his age for twenty minutes or so.
He did sign my name on the 8x10 he left behind as a thank you. He commented that one of the employees who read an announcement for him sounded, "like eighties grunge, man, like you're at the end of your rope," to which the employee responded, "well, I am." The former comedian asked where the Self Help section was, and chuckled, I didn't, and showed him. Thus began two hours of him soliciting his book to every person that tried to leave the store.
On the Maple Stave tip, we've got 6 songs, and we're headed for 7 or 8, bringing our combined time changes in the midst of songs to a grand total of 83.3334. The ninth song has 17 time changes in it alone.
This morning is moving very slowly.
