It is late Sunday afternoon. Earlier today I led a crack squad on a successful assault on Costco. Shouting Veni, Vidi, Vici we breached the walls and wreaked havoc upon all who tried to withstand my cart of death. Filled to the brim with 239 pounds of potatos, ketchup, steaks, chicken and peanut butter we successfully navigated through the swamp and overcame the hordes who opposed us.

And now I am back at the computer preparing to be debriefed on the mission. Prior to speaking to my handler I am engaged in my usual meditative state. In fact if I were any more relaxed I would be considered comatose. Since I can’t afford to look bad before Special Agent 083168 I am working on this post. Yes, this post, the one that you are reading. It is called a meme and it mirrors this one, with the sole exception that it is being updated based upon the 2011 iTunes library.

If you want to play the game feel free to do so on your blog. Leave a comment and/or link so that I can see what you came up with.

Getting the kids ready to go back to school tomorrow. After I finish dancing a jig and get them to bed I’ll have time to put up some new posts here and on that other one. Got a feeling that I might revisit Daniel and Anne. Might even let you in on the URL for the new blog, oh the new year is filled with possibilities. In the interim here is some of the music that I have been listening to:
