Somethin' kind of cool happened on my way home from work tonight. OK you know I was cruising home in my car listening to a Greatest Hits GL CD like I always do, and I have to cross these RR tracks to get to my house ya know, and all of a sudden I'm coming down the road toward the tracks, and I see the lights start flashing, and you know normally I would start swearing and be all pissed 'cuz I'd have to wait for the train, but instead, today for some reason, I simply smiled and said to myself "Good, now I've got more time to listen to Gord before I get home." Not to toot my own horn, but I think that was pretty awesome and I'm going to strive to be more like that from now on.
