Ahhh, Monday morning and good news. What a beautiful Monday it is indeed!

Why, you may ask? Two reasons:

1. As I wake up this morning, the Texas Rangers have the best record in Major League Baseball at 16-9. Several other AL teams are at 15-9, and in the NL, there are a few at 15-9 as well and one team at 16-10. This comes after a three-game sweep of the Red Sox, previously the best team in the AL. Ahhhhhh. Again, I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts, because there's no way they can keep up this pace, but who on earth would have believed that on May 3 of 2004, the Texas Rangers would be the best team in pro ball?

2. I got my first sales check from iTunes last week. The Green Chili CD has generated several single-song sales and one full album sale. I'm still waiting on sales figures to come in from the other sites on which the recoding is available, but it's really cool to be able to say "I've sold music on iTunes" and not just "I've got my music for sale on iTunes."

What a glorious Monday indeed...
