Many moons ago, as in something like over 120, LZP sent a Peeps album to me because Der Bingle had this thing about Peeps. Summer liked it – especially one song – and played it over and over. Then one day, the purple disc disappeared.

I was talking about that to LZP just now and I looked at the peeps site where you can make your own Peep character and that nudged me to actually look at itunes. For some crazy reason, I bought about two and a half minutes of the past here at the PBC&R.

If you are lucky, it won’t play.

I think I had to go to the bathroom, now that I go over it in my mind. Yes, I think that woke me. Oh, yes! Now, I fully remember. I heard the clock – it did the 16 chime thing, but no hour bong thing. So I bounded to the clock – yes, bounded – hoping against hope that the bonger had not stopped at three or four – and fumbled with the key for several seconds, my fingers as sleepy as my eyes.

I stuck the key in all three holes and wound and when I started on the third one, the clock started to bong, even though I was still winding. SIX TIMES!!!!!

I know it is odd to say, but I think it was fortuitous I drank all that iced tea before bedtime. I was afraid I would have to do the darn coordinate the bonging and correct hour thing again. But luck was with me.

Oh, the adrenaline of it all has worn off . . . so I guess I’ll snuggle down for just a little while.
