(I also remember dreaming an extensive rendition of some children&#8217;s barnyard song in the style of Billy Joel, though I can&#8217;t remember the song, and the more I think on it, the less I think it would be amusing if I could.)<\/p>\n<p>I did some grocery shopping, some cleaning, and some more watching of <i>Rubicon<\/i>.
