Clown frost and Blake

Well, it's only 10AM and already it's been an adventuresome day. The driver-side front tire looked a little flat when I headed out for the grocery run this AM & I decided to test the pressure when I left the store. It was pretty low, so I headed to the local gas station that has an air pump (for $.75 mind you for a couple minutes' worth of at least a grinding noise - I'm still not convinced it actually dispenses any air). Well the tire was completely flat by that time so I had to change it - which I did in record time - it was the same damned tire (or at least position on the car) that went flat a couple years ago - so I guess practice does make better. It looks like I'll be headed to the local garage later today since I planned to do the Cambridge grocery run tomorrow instead of Tues. since it's forecast to be pouring down rain then, and I _can't_ miss tomorrow's Melrose rehearsal after staying home last week because of the state of emergency declared by the governor because of the three-day nor'easter. Hadn't planned to go to the fixit place today, but you know what they say: To make God laugh, make plans.

Thought you might enjoy this Blake quotation from his Auguries of Innocence that I heard on this weeks episode of Speaking of Faith "Heart and Soul" the Integrative Medicine of Dr. Oz (http://speakingoffaith.publicradio.org/programs/2010/heart-and-soul/) well, for some reason the transcript isn't up there so I had to look elsewhere:

To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.

May you behold these wonders every day.
