I think it might have been going to the funeral home last night, which as it happens was the same one where we waked both of my father&#8217;s parents in 2005. (Separately, in March and October. And I was shocked, when I went to double-check that against the blog, that it was five whole years ago.) It wasn&#8217;t a particularly <i>sad<\/i> dream, but it was pretty odd.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, they conducted something called &#8220;elevator recall tests&#8221; at work today, and I have absolutely no idea what that is supposed to mean. They announced it by saying they would be testing the building&#8217;s <i>fire<\/i> alarms, which is something they do, like, every seven seconds where I work, but I guess they changed their minds midway through. Whatever. Aside from that, it was a pretty quiet day at the office. Our e-mail server seems to be clawing its way back to life, and I managed to finish proofing those PowerPoint slides I was working on yesterday. <\/p>\n<p>Pretty much just your typical Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>I did take this short video on my way home this evening, mostly because the car I was in emptied out and I didn&#8217;t feel too weird pointing my camera at the train&#8217;s window. This is the view from the dirty windows of the Long Island Railroad, between Merrilon Avenue and Mineloa.
