So here it is Wednesday again. I have been having extremely weird dreams lately and if you know me well and have ever heard about my dreams you know that on any given day my dream will beat your dream in hand-to-hand combat. Much like John McCain, or so I have thought...

I got my wonderful shipment from Amazon the other filled with goodies paid for by my boss via a gift certificate. The gifties included the books The Year of the Goat and Atomic Ranch and the new Feist CD and a best of Supertramp. I have somehow missed out on owning a Supertramp CD until now. I am not sure why since I have always enjoyed their music and can sing most of the songs word for word. (This is also a talent I have). The CDs are lovely but I am holding out on truly delving into the books until I have finished my required Winter reading:
Sex Live of Cannibals
Atonement
A Year in the Woods
Hawaii
Darkly Dreaming Dexter


Last night between boring parts of the NH Primary (Olympics for nerds) M & I watched the new Futurama movie, Bender's Big Score. It did not totally suck but there were two things wrong with the movie as a whole: weird songs and not enough Kif. I know most people who watch(ed) Futurama dig Bender the most. I enjoy other characters more to be honest. At least they left the ending open for a sequel...

On the travel tip, M & I are going to Arizona tomorrow. I have only been to AZ once before. It was in 1987 and it was on a Southwest plane. I also never actually left the airport. It was an adventure for my 13 year old self in that my parents let me fly from Birmingham AL to Nashville, TN then to Phoenix and on to San Diego to visit my uncle Buford and aunt Neida. This is still in my mind one of my best ever trips, even after traveling to exotic locales. So I am looking forward to finally getting off the plane. I don't think we will be able to find Steve Nicks' Fajita Round-Up, but I think there will be some yummy food involved. Currently we are looking at visiting two architectural marvels: Arcosanti and Taliesin West.
There is also a Trader Vic's that we have to go to since the one in Chicago seems like it will NEVER open.

Phoenix -- got searched twice by the TSA, but I hear it's a great place. Let us know how the food is, and if you feel secure.
