Walkin' tunes
At 4:55 the Dashboard widget tells me it's 83 degrees outside. Unreal! But welcome all the same. I change into shorts and hiking boots, lock my office door, and head for home.
Today's playlist for the walk, randomly selected by iTunes:
- Little Feat, "Day at the Dog Races"
- dBs, "In Spain"
- Damned, "Smash It Up Pts. 1 & 2" *
- Clash, "Deny"
- Tom Verlaine, "Kingdom Come" (live version from The Miller's Tale)
- Grant McLennan, "Late Afternoon in Early August"
- Go-Betweens, "Head Full of Steam"
And at 2:10 into the Ramones' "Howling At the Moon" I'm unlocking my own door. That's as long as the foot-commute takes, including stops to get the mail and fill the cats' water dish at the bottom of the stairs.
I just love working on campus.
