Years ago I went through a phase of always having headphones and a CD player on. I remember coming in to work one day and telling my colleague, I bet one day, we all walk around with headsets on, and just plug in to wherever we are. Get to work, plug in to the phone, get in the car, plug in to the radio, get home, plug in to the computer or tv or whatever.

Well today I actualized that vision. I came home from work and it was the first really nice day we've had so far this year. We've had some sunny days in the 50's but today was forecast to be 60 and in fact at one point it reached 67. Plus we just changed the clocks ahead so it's staying lighter much later this week. So when I got home from work, I found myself wanting to walk my two big dogs. I set about trying to find a working CD player and headset. I found an old portable CD player for the car that my sister had handed down to me. But what to do for headphones? What could I use? Could the headset and mike I'd bought a few months ago, to Skype with Tom Campbell and friends, actually fit in that CD player and work? I tried it and why, yes! Yes it could! So my doggies had a fun walk and I rocked out to Aerosmith Done with Mirrors and all in all it was a beautiful evening.

I love a happy ending.
