leaving on a jet plane

 this morning on the way to work i was listening to the new prague radio station as usual, which has the 'live music friday' segment. i learned something, as one song played was 'leaving on a jet plane'. it was introduced as a john denver song. i had to look it up, and john did record it but his version wasn't a hit. the version by peter paul and mary was a number 1 hit. i recall this song from music class in junior high. of course it is kind of a sad song, as it is about somebody leaving. at work two technicians arrived, but not at the same time. in the morning it was for the envelope stuffer, and i was able to get mostly caught up on running checks through after it was operational again. in the afternoon it was for the check printer, and it doesn't sound good. something bout needing to replace the mother board, or the entire unit, as it is 'out of warranty'. i offered a chair to the latter tech from the 'back room', who at first sat on a cart. in the evening i went to the hy-vee in eagan for my weekly grocery order. although it was a smaller order than typical, just 6 items. it was 7 if you count the visit to their liquor store first. i got a can of schell's, so now there are 3 beers waiting. later on i went on a walk and found 91 cents. the 'big bang theory' rerun was when we meet ramona, who likes sheldon, and the song 'be my yoko ono' is played.
