More (semi) Free Lunches

Was only in the office briefly today, so lunch was at home. A simple Muenster and tavern ham sandwich with a little Cheez-Its Mix on the side. While eating I watched the end of some Titanic piece I've seen before on the History channel. 

It reminded me of being at a theater on a Friday night a decade ago, working with a great reporter on a story about people going to see the Titanic movie over and over. We were talking with one girl who admitted this would be her seventeenth (!!!!!!!) time seeing the movie. The reporter, in a moment of brilliance, paused, looked up and said, "You know the ship will still sink, right?"

Every frame after that was a little out of focus ... the sandwich was good, not really assembled lovingly, but quickly, very quickly. Note to self and Mir: we're almost out of mustard.
