Listening to "Fired! - Tales of Jobs Gone Bad"

If you have a good internet connection at home and time (like while folding laundry), download the BBC World Drama: Worldplay: Fired edited by Annabelle Gurwitch. I don't usually enjoy stand-up comedy, but this urban monologue is worth the price (free).

The weather on Saturday morning was just perfect, so I treasured a pleasant bike ride. I haven't biked downtown in far too long. I felt so alive, stopping only to take photographs. (The rain on the way home wasn't quite as ideal, but the return trip was OK thanks to the bus bike rack).
