boom! got it

 john madden would have been proud, because when i was researching travel ideas and found a good one i let a colleague know by saying 'boom! got it'. madden was known for saying 'boom!' as a broadcaster. i told myself i wanted to make a daytrip more worthwhile when wanting to see an art museum out of town, so it meant finding another museum or historic site to see on the same day. not in the same towns, but just an hour apart. this means it is doable if i get started early enough. i was researching ideas for where to eat as well, wanting to choose a place i don't get too that often. this narrowed the search a lot, especially when some ideas were crossed off the list when i found out hours of operation. if an establishment is closed on the day i want to go, then keep looking. at work i had to say more than once how a file was not approved yet. surprises me a little how i have to prompt business lines about it, seeing an email about checks to be overnighted. then one file arrived late in the day, and i said it wasn't going out same day because i don't have enough time to get it done. i still imported the file, though. taking this step is still a good idea, since it makes it a little easier for me when i am ready to get it done. in the evening i went to perform and the bartender said i was late but when i did get a beer i am told this will be his response no matter what time i showed up. i said 'ha' about it. in my set i did one about stickers on cars, and bank stories about lockboxes and other annoyances i deal with. i watched some of the world series, game three at home, then listened on the radio, and watched some at the bar when i wasn't performing. dodgers won to go up 3-0 in the series. later on, i went on a walk and found 30 cents. the 'big bang theory' reruns were both about penny's ex, kurt. first was a halloween episode, then there was when she paid his fines at court.
