Off to a weird start

January 1st, 2007

Happy New Year

This morning I could hear the cars drive by, a handful every minute. My street isn’t that busy, and the cars kept happening. The car-parade went into the afternoon — turns out Speer, the big street a block from my place, was closed to northbound traffic. Closed for a crime scene — Denver Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams was shot to death riding in a stretch H2 Hummer early this morning.

So, hey, happy new year.


Update: Found a new reason for happy: I found the mp3 of the cover of Paul Simon’s Graceland by Casiotone for the Painfully Alone. It’s superb, one of the best “make it your own”-type covers I know.
