What's your musical horoscope? (Put your music player on shuffle and write down the first 10 songs that come up.) Inspired by Stephanie.
I've got way too much crap on my iPod to shuffle, so here's an honest list of what came up and what was skipped. Now back to my previously playing M. Ward album ... just as soon as this Joan Baez song is over.

2. Wilco, A Shot In the Arm
3. The Flaming Lips, Chewin' The Apple Of Yer Eye (skipped)
3. Gotan Project, Amor Porteño (skipped)
3. CPI, I Have No More Childhood Left? disc 2 (skipped)
3. Asheru and Blue Black of the Unspoken Heard, Black Moses
4. Beatles, Paperback Writer (skipped)

This weekend we need to build a trellis—our tomato vines are growing fast! Tomorrow for Father's Day I get to pick out a hike for the family to take. It's going to be the first hottest day of Summer so I'm thinking someplace shady. Maybe the walk to Walney Pond at Ellanor C. Lawrence park.
Where's the beef?!
Is coffee a food? I got nothing. Lettuce, maybe. It took me a long time to really get lettuce. I get it now.
I put some work into cleaning up my desk a few months after reading Getting Things Done and then again after taking posession of that nice 20" LCD, and I'm pretty happy with it.
The keyboard is bluetooth, so I can easily set it aside to acheive 3'x1' of clear workspace. On the left goes the phone, mug of pens, blank post-its and index cards. On the right are my trays: In, Action, Review, and some blank tablets at the bottom to grab for notes and meetings. I'd like to do a better job with the cables.
Just one book on the virtual nightstand (nothing actually gets left on the nightstand because there's usually a small plastic cup of water that appears there when the kids migrate over in the middle of the night, and we have a young cat who is a bit reckless in jumping and also likes to dip his paw into glasses, and anyway I don't generally read in bed, by the time I make it to the beddroom I'm ready to fall asleep immediately): The Power of Now by Neil Fiore. It's pretty good—if you think you might be able to get something from it, you should pick it up.
I don't think I'm embarrassed by any music I own any longer. I'll tell you my first music purchases if you want a chuckle. It was a pair of 45s: LL Cool J's "I Need Love" and The Whispers' "Rock Steady". I Need Love was a great song, but the b-side was a little beyond my 11-year-old ken.
