All Better

After a fruitful meeting with one of my professors, a playful romp with my cat, a much-needed session with my therapist, all chased down with a delicious Subway tuna sandwich, life is better.

I'm off to watch the last installment in Ken Burns' PBS "Jazz" documentary which has been thoroughly engaging and full of interesting cultural tidbits. Did you know that the slang word "man," as in "Hey man, what's up?" was spawned from early jazz musicians who were tired of whitey calling them "Boy"? Power to the people, indeed.
