Tuesday. Nice day. Not much in the rain department. Bill was at his folks, I slept alone comfortably. I watched TV, no Heroes, just the repeat of the Daily Show and then the Colbert Report, followed by I don’t know what. Then I watched Dateline from the Virginia Tech campus where 32 people were slaughtered by a nut job who somehow bought two guns in a month and went on a killing spree. I had read a blog on ABC News website about how the media got the type of gun wrong thereby showing a liberal bias. If you can get past their spelling errors run to the bathroom so you can vomit for these people are generally idiot gun owners.

The Today Show was live from the campus but since I leave the apartment at 7:00 instead of 7:30 I didn’t catch it, not that they would have anything new to say. Meredith Viera looked a bit shaken as I turned off the TV and headed out the door though. I walked to the bus stop listening to the Cornelius Brothers and Sister Rose singing Treat Her Like a Lady. Good lessons to learn if you’re into the ladies. I walked across midtown and got into the office only 5 minutes late which was fine. Greg Stevens made it in before me and he was glad to see me.

I had plenty of things to do today and one of those things involved walking up to the Bed Bath and Beyond on 60th street and First Avenue. It was a nice walk and I enjoyed seeing the sights that I used to see when I worked at Wanker Banker. I window shopped as I walked up the avenue, remembering past rendezvous’ and bars where I partied years before. Saw some nice architecture that I had never seen before by the 59th Street Bridge. Of course the time to rent an apartment in such a building was long gone by about 20 years.

Across from Bed Bath and Beyonce was a store called Straight from the Crate. I decided to take a chance and go in. Bargain by The Who was playing on the store’s stereo as I asked the sales girl if they had a cart for serving food on it. I followed her and found a nice silver metal cart and she said she would order one for me. I told her I needed it today so she went and checked to see if one was in stock. She was doubtful though. As I waited another Who song came on, this time it was I Can See For Miles. I asked some guy who worked there if Pete or Roger from the Who died and he asked why.

I told him usually if I hear more than one song by a band or an artist the first thing I think of is that someone had died. He didn’t remember the previous song being by the Who and I told him it was. Then he remembered it was Tuesday meaning it was Two For Tuesday on the radio. So Pete and Roger are still alive, and I’m still not in any rush to go see them again. Saw the Who in 1979 and was bored mainly. I was also traumatized since my brother Brian had threatened to tell my parents that I was gay while I waited for our brother Frank coming to take me to the show.
