"Everyday things change, basically they stay the same"

Another week ends. September is coming to a rapid close. Four years ago...around this time, I'd be gearing up for a drive over to the old Applewood 9 for a midnight movie complements of Mr. Ricky Lehman. Yes, I suppose the year was 2005 and into 2006. 2005 was a good year. 2006 had its challenges. Ups and downs. The ebb and flow of life. Four years sounds like a long time ago...but heck Detroit seems like a long time ago and that was only 16 months. Four years? Yesterday?

I just downloaded David Gray's new album, which I'm very much looking forward to absorbing over the next week. I remember being at Darren Rayl's house when he first had White Ladder by David Gray. Now we're moving back in time...2000. It took me awhile to see the light, but ultimately White Ladder became one of my top 5 favorite albums of all time. Perhaps number one or two. If you don't listen to David Gray yet, just download Please Forgive Me and maybe This Year's Love for a couple of strong samples from that album...it's great music for the fall.

We're on a huge jumpstart for Christmas shopping this year. If you're reading this blog, you may already be the owner of a Christmas present bought specifically with you in mind. Don't get your hopes up yet though...Really we do have a lot of gifts already though. Kind of nice to spread it out from a budgeting perspective.

Perhaps the most interesting news today is that I road the bus to work. Public transportation = good study time for MBA.

Also a good time to read romance novels.
