The New Pornographers gave a great concert Saturday night. On the one hand, at 75 minutes their set was shorter than I would have liked. On the other, the set was tight, included all the songs I wanted to hear, and had the audience (including me) completely bouncing. I definitely recommend seeing them if you get the chance. Destroyer, the warm up band I saw (we missed the first band while heading from the soccer game), was decidedly mediocre. I won't be in a hurry to check out any of their music.--
One of the things about having stopped my newspaper is that I miss certain stories. When I happened to go to the Washington Post's editorial section today, I read about a problem that I thought was being addressed -- pension reform. Beyond joining my disgust with the Post's, I have nothing further to add.

Finished reading Gil's All Fright Diner last night, and didn't think much of it. I suppose I shouldn't have expected much -- I was looking for lighter fare, and that's what I got. Then again, I wasn't the one who referenced Christopher Moore on the book jacket -- Gil had a plot for a Moore book, but got bogged down in the telling. If anyone has suggestions for authors for Moore fans, speak up!Rating: 5/10

Despite the late night Saturday night, and my inability to get to sleep until after 4am this morning, I am in fact feeling better. Maybe the virus needs sleep more than I do.
