Notes
Today ended up being a lot shorter than it should have been, as I was distracted and pulled away from my desk quite often.
The highlights were definitely among the great parts of today.  The four versions of "Going Down Slow" were all unique in fantastic ways, and I found out that I don't have the most recognized version of the song by Howlin' Wolf.  I'm not a big fan of Huey Lewis' version too much, as the tempo of the song doesn't really match up with the overall mood of the song.
I have two more days of work before Thanksgiving, and I'm not sure if I'll make it out of the G's or not.  Stay tuned!
