NaBloPoMo and Mo

I had nothing more pressing to do this morning, so after reading about Manisha's experience with NaBloPoMo on Indian Food Rocks, I decided to check it out...to see if I get any more traffic as a result. Of course, I don't know what I would do with more traffic.

I'm sitting at my computer this morning, drinking a very, very strong cup of excellent coffee. There's a market near our house that sells a variety of coffee beans; I chose what they call Lola Superior Ultra Dark French Roast. It's obscenely expensive, which I tend to avoid. But, in this case, I'm relaxing my loathing of the signs of conspicuous consumption and am enjoying one of the finer things in life. After the coffee, I'll wander outdoors to meet a guy who's coming by to give me an estimate of what it will cost to reduce the jungle-like overgrowth in my yard, near the house.

Back to NaBloPoMo. I'm not much of an online social networker, which is what NaBloPoMo is all about at its core. I write my blog, of course, but heretofore have not actively sought out "friends" online. I probably will stick to that M.O., but will find the experiment with a social networking site at least mildly interesting. Unless, of course, I am accosted by hordes of women (or men) who find my picture irrestible...any such people would definitely be dangerous and worthy of giving a wide berth.

Let's see, what else is on today? I'll be on the lookout for something interesting for tonight's dinner. My wife has informed me that tonight she would like something from the grill, so it will be my task today to identify what that will be and to prepare it to her liking. I also have to take my brother's 1995 Mercedes Benz convertible, which is taking shelter in my garage, out for a spin. Today's not the day to put the top down (I could, but I would uncomfortably chilly doing so), but it needs its exercise while it's waiting to determine where its permanent home will be.

I'll probably head up to my office for awhile after the jungle has been cleared, the food tracked down and prepared for the grill, and the car has been adequately exercised. This latter task, going to the office, has no appeal to me, none whatsoever, but I am getting buried deeper and deeper in paperwork that I have been steadfastly procrastinating about...so, it's time to pay the piper.

OK, since I'm feeling fundamentally lazy today, I think I'll cross post this little diatribe on NaBloPoMo as my first post over there.
