marvelous toy, peter paul and mary

 recently i heard a song on the new prague radio station that i hadn't heard before. it was 'marvelous toy' by peter paul and mary. i am more familiar with other songs by this folk music trio, especially 'puff the magic dragon' and 'leaving on a jet plane'. i found out why. according to wikipedia, 'marvelous toy' was not near as big of a hit as those other two. i watched a black and white video on youtube of this song. it is a story about a toy that is eventually passed down to the main character's son. it looks like this song has been performed by others. and i noticed how some of this trio's hit songs were written by bob dylan. 

at work it was a high-volume day on check printing, which is typical for a tuesday. in the morning i saw the mail delivery man and he asked for a cart. i said i hadn't ordered anything. when i saw the cart in the mailroom i looked at all of the boxes on it and found out i hadn't ordered any of it, HR had. so i sent them to the delivery table on another floor and let them take care of it. at our team huddle there is mention of online classes due at the end of the month. i will try to find the time to do them sooner rather than later. they typically don't take that long to do, and i think there are seven in all. in the evening i went on a walk and found 11 cents. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when an FBI agent was interviewing the friends about howard. it was followed by the one where raj's sister priya visits, as she is on layover for a day. and there is mention of a 'pinky swear' that none of the friends will date her. i also liked seeing a snoopy snow cone maker in this episode. and i went onto facebook and responded to all of the birthday wishes, there were 27 of them.
