Is falling here today. A good day to be inside where it's cozy and warm.
Hope you had a relaxing, refreshing and productive week. Maybe just sitting still and thinking or whatever trips your trigger / floats your boat - as they say.
Nothink much going on here in the Cafe.
Waiting for the debate tonight and thinking about dinner plans. Celebrating Rachel's 19th birthday this weekend. I kind of hope we can stay in. I have a chest cold and am feeling like some warm R&R would do me good.
The lights gradually slipping away from us in the Northern hemisphere now. It's 4:07 pm as I write this and it's approaching dusk (partly because of the cloud cover). It's been a grey day. Not a bad day...just grey.

Have a new guy at work. He's on the steep part of the learning curve and he's loving it. Really enjoying having him around with his enthusiasm and desire to learn. He's from Snowflake Arizona, has climbed down, up, down and back up the Grand Canyon in a single day. Ahhh to be so young and fit. His wife is expecting their first baby this spring. Exciting stuff.

I used to think about "tone" a lot. Not in a color sense but in the sense of "tone of voice". Some people have such a poor tone I feel for them. A few types that are either cause for sympathy or maybe tend to raise your hackles would be -
(1) Infinitely tired tone. This is the really slow, frog in your voice sort of tone. I'mmmmmmmmmmm sooooooooooooooo siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiicccccccccccccccckkkkkkk.
(2) Infinitely bored tone. Flat voice no inflection, no change in tone or facial gesture. Can be combined with 1.
(3) Upset/picked on/angry tone. This is the whiny - "Oh I can't believe how stupid those people (or you) are". Can be combined with 1 and 2 to make for a person you'd like to slap the snot out of (whoops I didn't mean that).
Hopefully where you work, or live or go to school there aren't too many people with the whiner tone.
Here's the number one site on the Google search for "whiners". Right on target baby.

Really nothing going on. Good day for a nap. A snack. Some debate watching...visiting. Maybe some ice cream and candy.
Hope you have a good Friday and a great weekend.
