Inertia, as we all remember from that high school physics class we took a bizillion years ago, has something to do with objects at rest wanting to stay at rest. (Which does help explain why rocks don't just get up an walk around on their own, but that's another story all together.) Inertia does have another definition (given to me courtesy of Merriam-Webster). It is an "indisposition to motion, exertion or change" and that just about sums my life in a nutshell.

Odd Omens
Day before yesterday (which, I guess would be Tuesday, if you want to get technical), I was driving past a neighbors house just in time for their American flag to be blown off the pole and onto the ground. I mean, it happened at the exact moment I passed by. It kind of wigged me out. I wasn't sure what the etiquette was for such a situation. I remembered from back in my Girl Scout days that the flag should never be allowed to touch the ground, but what could/should I do since 1) it wasn't my flag and 2) it had already touched the ground. I kept on driving but I kept thinking that it was a bad omen for the day.
