Behind the Green Door

Behind the Green Door cover

I started the slide into the long weekend with a show about nothing, just me answering random questions. Then I headed into Lagos for a work thing, but I was back home by late lunch time. I stopped at a local place for a chicken wrap, which was surprisingly good. Eight bucks for a wrap and fries. Everyone in the place was fat, and that is always a good sign for a restaurant.

I took care of a work item and then spent the rest of the afternoon cutting the field and the back area. I usually break it up, but I was feeling good. Working outside when it is in the low-50’s is much easier than when it is in the 80’s. Here it is Memorial Day weekend, and I need a sweatshirt to be outside. It is supposed to be down in the low 40’s tonight, so it feels like fall instead of late spring.

Since I did not post a video last week, I got out the camera and made a video that makes the podcast feel deep and absorbing. Now that I am getting comfortable with the editing of these things, I need to work on the pre-production. That might be a project for the weekend while I am doing the green thumb stuff. That is more of a thinking issue than a doing issue.

Now I am having a diet beer so I can watch 2001: A Space Odyssey. I have watched it a dozen times, but it has been a long time. It is the next movie on the top-100 list, so I need to watch again to make my way through the list. There is a good chance I fall asleep before the end, which has been my habit with this film. I think I have seen it all the way through just once.
