What did you eat for breakfast this morning? just coffee so far, probably will have a bagel thin and a banana eventually

What do you plan on doing tomorrow?  work, then was supposed to go see larry bell tap the first season's keg of oberon but the event is sold out - boo!  i'll probably just be frantically finishing up packing for the move on friday with a few glasses of wine.

What's your favorite day of the week and why?  saturday because i don't have to work and i still have all day sunday to look forward to
