Monday drag


I don't think there's enough coffee in Seattle to get us going this morning. A local neuroscientist warns that we need to be very careful this week.   “Every year when we spring forward, we have a significant increase in the number of traffic accidents,” says Washington University’s Erik Herzog.

He says two studies provide the evidence. “The increase persists for about three days after the shift, so that would be Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday,” he says. “We also see an increase in the number of heart attacks that lasts about two days.”

If that's not depressing enough! We had nothing going on Sunday so I bought last minute tickets to the "Book-It Theater" production of Frankenstein.  Three and a half hours of histrionic acting and silly gore later had us catatonic in our seats, and Mary Shelley probably turning in her grave.  Anyway, you can't win em' all.  We saw Anna Karenina at "Book-It" last year,  and it was really very good. But if you want a dose of Frankenstein, stay away from the play and stick with Boris Karloff.

And now, I'm off to get some "very careful" exercise.  Hopefully my morning brain kicks in by Wednesday.
