Good morning, everybody!

My partner, Kate, was hospitalized again last week. She's home, and doing reasonably well, but that didn't happen till last night. It was a hell of a week. So today this is just an Open Thread. No essay.

April 1 is the 91st day of the Gregorian Calendar year,
Prickle-Prickle, Chaos 4, 3185 YOLD (discordian),
And let us not forget 13.0.6.6.12 by the Mayan Long Count

It is also April Fools Day, a day of pranks and tricks.

Hey, it's songday. I pick a song that I believe warrants it and publish an assortment of the covers of that song by various persons and or groups. Pick a few that are new to you and have a listen. It is also, of course, an open thread to talk about anything you feel like.

Today's song is: Sitting on Top of the World
