The title? An homage to the new Wilco CD that was released today. I was going to wait a few weeks to buy it, but I'm weak. I wish I could have gone to the listening party at Saratoga Lanes. If anyone went, please tell me about it so I can live vicariously.
I was out and about last night, though. After spending the day with my poor teething, constipated child, I needed a little Momma Mental Health Time. At that point I was so worn that going to an album release party didn't sound like fun at all. I was much more interested in taking a long drive around the city. I made a big loop, starting at 270 & Rock Road, heading south to 44, taking 44 to 55, then hitting 70 to 170. At dusk, there's almost no traffic, and the weather was perfect for opening the windows. It's been a long time since I let the wind whip through my truck while drive a wee bit too fast and singing along with The Clash. If all frustrated parents were able to take an hour or two to do this, I think there would be many more happy families.
Today has been much better. I got lots and lots of orders for tomorrow's dinner-to-go (including one via this blog - thanks, Beth! ), which always makes me happy. Clara Jane was much happier today and was all a-twitter about going to Sam's and Global Foods. She always seems to get as much of a kick out of Global as I do, although I get more enjoyment out of their selection of gen-u-ine British Cadbury chocolate. You do know that British Cadbury is far superior to American Cadbury, right? And you know that you can get it at Global, right? I knew you were smart like that!
A British Cadbury Whole Nut bar, a new Wilco CD, a non-constipated baby, happy work stuff ... yep, it's pretty good today. Pretty good, indeed.

Our fellow STL Blogger Mike (http://djearlybird.blogspot.com/) went to the listening party and posted a spare review of the event. And you can join our discussion. :)

Weird...I was listening to the Clash today as I was heading out to buy the cd.
