I'm so pleased you're discovering or re-discovering Gabriel. Inspired by your post, I spent a lot of yesterday listening to my PG playlist while I was cooking and doing housework. I've never been able to get into early Genesis--not really my thing--but in The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, you can hear the first hints of Gabriel as a solo musician. In particular, "The Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging" is pure Peter.

Your comments about Guardians 2 (thanks for keeping them non-spoilery, btw) has really whetted my appetite for the movie. Is it Saturday yet?

I completely get what you mean about being in a work-related funk. Things are not good around here these days. I'm reasonably certain we'll survive for another year... but after that is anyone's guess. Trying to stay hopeful is difficult when everywhere you go, around every corner, there are people in a worried huddle, talking in quiet voices. It's not filling me with confidence.

Oh, man, I'm so sorry that you're dealing with that kind of crisis at work. Question, is the current or former prez of your institution related by marriage to a former presidential candidate? I ask because I ran across something about someone who fits that bill having been in a top spot at a small east coast college, and I immediately thought of you. Here are my very sincere and strong hopes that your place of employment becomes far healthier than it sounds like it is right now. Good luck!

Hmm, I don't think so. Not that I'm aware of. LOL, there are a lot of small colleges on the east coast.

See my most recent post if you're interested in the gory details. It boils down to: enrollments are tanking. The bad press we had two years ago is still hurting us. No thanks to my idiot former boss. Who as far as I know is retiring this year, swanning off into the sunset while the rest of us fret over our the futures of our careers and finances. > : - {
