Two good things about today:

1. I bought a gnome. One of those awesome little guys you put in your yard, ya know? It's sweet.

2. I ate homemade Caribbean-Jerk chicken with my friends Stephanie & Josh (& baby Aubrey!) and figured out this should be one of my theme songs for life:

Accentuate the Positive

You gotta accent-thu-ate the positive,

E-lim-inate the negative,

An’ latch on

To the affirmative

Don’t mess with mister in-between!

You gotta spread joy up to the maximum,

Bring gloom down to the minimum,

An’ have faith ( amen! )

Or pandemonium’s Liable to walk upon the scene!

To illustrate my last remark

Jonah in the whale! Noah in the arc!

An’ what did they do ( what did they do? )

Just when everything looked so dark? ( what did they, what did they, what did they do? )

Man! they said

You better accent-thu-ate the positive,

E-lim-inate the negative,

An’ latch onTo the affirmative

Don’t mess with mister in-between!

I think it's by Perry Como, anyway...it's a good song.
