Today was the craziest weather day yet. This morning it felt like 16 F outside according to my phone, but it was going to get up to 65 F, so I wore my "sleeping bag" coat because I hate to be cold. It was also raining pretty hard, and at lunchtime it was still raining a bit, so Petrel and I were going to walk inside the Union when suddenly the rain stopped, the sun came out... and I had forgotten to bring my sunglasses. It also seemed to warm up about 25 F. We went down to the Terrace and saw a loon. By the time I left work, it was so warm that I didn't even have to wear a coat. At home I was trying to watch episodes of Colbert that we had recorded, but they kept getting interrupted by urgent weather bulletins. However, the weather was sunny here - I think the bad thunderstorms and tornadoes were all north of us.
This evening Travalon and I went to Awildan Distillery to listen to the fast Irish session with some people from the Shamrock Club. My buddy was sick, but we had fun conversations with other people from the club. We were all very happy about the results of yesterday's election. (Doesn't it seem odd that a guy who said empathy was the great weakness of Western civilization is now crying about how nobody has any empathy for him? Guess we don't want to be weak. I personally am enjoying the schadenfreude, you loser.) Daithi the Fiddler wasn't there tonight, but the flute player with the Irish name and the curly red hair was there, and she said that she, my Irish teacher, and I should form our own band. I'm down with it! We probably wouldn't play in public, just jam, and that's fine with me. I love jamming.
