Odd

Several things that I know were with me at ConChord seem to have gone missing, among them a little white power strip with a short cord, and my top hat. Very weird.

They'll turn up, of course, long after they're no longer needed.

Other than that, I'm packed.

9:25 The power strip showed up in Colleen's computer bag.

Cheerful songs?

I was on the point of sending a copy of "Pack Up Your Sorrows" in email to a friend to cheer her up, but took a good look at the lyrics. Apart from the fact that it didn't actually look all that cheering, I didn't really understand it.

"The Mary Ellen Carter" is more my style. It's gotten me through a lot of bad times. OK, it's not exactly cheerful -- defiant is more like it -- but it's cheering.

What songs cheer you up?

added 9:35am I also meant to add "Desolation Row". Obscure, sure, but snidely funny and greatly cheering in a "things are rotten here, but what the hell, it's home" sense.
