Holy Commute, Batman

Public-access wireless internet is cool, but FREE public-access wireless internet rocks. Sitting at Panera Bread on a beautiful Friday afternoon, amid the steady stream of customers and kids who are off school today for Good Friday.
Good Friday– I may have to run through “Jesus Christ Superstar” one more time to get into the spirit of the weekend.
Speaking of that, it seems my local train station is the latest forum for churches’ interpretations of The Passion of the Christ. Last week, folks from the local Lutheran church were handing out water bottles with a note attached about the movie and their Easter services, and yesterday people from a local Bible Church were distributing pamphlets explaining The Passion… and inviting people to their Easter services.
Saw Art today, so I’m one well-groomed dude right now. Lisa P. (she of the “every woman on the planet, including myself” comment) found a new gig, managing a high-end Italian boutique at Northbrook Court. She starts in two weeks and is really psyched about it.
Heading off to refinance the pad. Before I go, here are the lyrics to a song that figured prominently in a dream I had last night. (It was the Aimee Mann-Michael Penn version.)


Two of Us
( Lennon – McCartney )
Two of us riding nowhere
Spending someone’s
Hard earned pay
Two of us Sunday driving
Not arriving
On our way back home
We’re on our way home
We’re on our way home
We’re going home
Two of us sending postcards
Writing letters
On my wall
You and me burning matches
Lifting latches
On our way back home
We’re on our way home
We’re on our way home
We’re going home
You and I have memories
Longer than the road that stretches out ahead
Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing so low
In the sun
You and me chasing paper
Getting nowhere
On our way back home
We’re on our way home
We’re on our way home
We’re going home
You and I have memories
Longer than the road that stretches out ahead
Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing so low
In the sun
You and me chasing paper
Getting nowhere
On our way back home
We’re on our way home
We’re on our way home
We’re going home
