So last night I went to bed at 10.30p, feeling certain that I would leap out of bed at 8a like a well-rested gazelle, but nope, instead I re-set the alarm to 8.30a, then hit snooze until 9a.

I am still yawning. How can 2 1/2 hours be enough yesterday (when I got up, at any rate) and 10 1/2 hours be not enough today?

So yesterday I got to work at 9a, beating The Raccoon in, which certainly surprised her.

At around 10a or so, I started hearing reports on the radio about the plane crash in Queens. I was so tired that it didn't even occur to me that people would be worried, that they would think that it was more terrorist activity--even when they closed all the tunnels and bridges, I didn't really understand.

Of course, I did realize that this time I was in the city and would have the adventure going home if it wasn't cleared up by the end of the day, which I was pretty certain that it would be. The Raccoon was more pessimistic, but I turned out to be right, as everything was running normally by like 2p.

I don't know why I didn't think that it was anything but a normal horrible tragedy, I guess because the plane went down in Queens, and why would a terrorist attack Queens? Of course, that plane that went down in Pennsylvania on 9/11 wasn't aiming for the countryside, so clearly it could have been a foiled attempt, but somehow I didn't think it was.

Of course, it is another hideous tragedy affecting my city, too soon after the last one, and too many people are already dead, and I was going to write about that, but I couldn't even begin to think about saying it better than Sars does here.

And on a more shallow note (but it's not a Mighty Kymm entry if it's not at least a little shallow), I was listening to CBS-FM yesterday, the oldies station that I always listen to, and I need to make something really clear:

Huey Lewis and the News The Power of Love is not an oldie, I do not accept that! And neither is Careless Whisper, while we're at it. If I was in college when it was released, it cannot possibly be an oldie.

Today's horoscope:
Sharing ideas with friends and exchanging information is a good use of your mental talents. You're more casual and carefree than usual.

One year ago today:
Of course, he's such an idiot that it would probably behoove me to have as little rehearsal with him as possible...
