October Already

• Wow!! October already!
• Tom Petty died today. It catches your attention when it's a longtime personal favorite who is close to you in age. Suddenly it's like, if it could happen to him ..... Three/fifths of The Traveling Wilburys have now passed. Time to stop hoping for the band to get back together.
• Someone accepted my friend request on Facebook today. Problem is, I don't recall sending the request. But you can never have too many friends right? Especially when you've been noticeably lacking in that area in recent years.
• The act of getting up each day and heading off to work isn't really what's driving me closer to retirement. It's the days like today where you feel like you are being pulled in and from all directions.
• It feels like an incense burning evening.
• Matching up socks fresh from the dryer becomes pretty simplified when all you wear is same brand, ankle high, navy blue. Especially after you pass the point where you can tell the difference between the newer and older socks.
