Superstition.
Greetings! Hopefully you're familiar with the Stevie Wonder song "Superstition." If you're not familiar with it, I'm sure you've probably heard it somewhere and just don't know the name. Or if you actually haven't heard it ever before, I invite you to go listen to it. Why am I bringing this up? Simply put: because it's Friday. But it's Friday the sixth, not Friday the Thirteenth, what gives? This song is just an any Friday kind of song. Why? Oh, let me explain.
In high school, both Rocket and I were in band. Obviously I continued instrumental music and she did not, but that's beside the point. The point is we were both in band. That entails concert band, full orchestra, marching band, jazz band and the like. We went to a large high school, and the band room was home base for the (dedicated) band kids. Makes sense, yes? Indeed. We had a very large band program, in fact, the entire music program was huge at our high school. Thus, the band room would need to be spacious enough for all of us band geeks to have plenty of room for lockers, many chairs, instrument cases, instruments, and music stands. During the week, all of the chairs and music stands would be left out (in "formation," kind of). On Fridays, the chairs and music stands needed to be stacked up, racked up and moved out of the way so the wonderful custodians could (try to) clean all of our spit and whatever else off of the industrial-grade carpet. As you can imagine, there were quite a few chairs and music stands. On Friday afternoons, whoever was still hanging around in the band room got to "Rack & Stack." There were usually plenty of people hanging about in the band room after school, especially on Fridays. As we would begin the process of "Rack & Stack," we would play this same CD every Friday. The "Rack & Stack CD." Among some great classic funk and soul type tunes, the first track was "Superstition." That's the real reason that song is one of the best Friday songs ever. I got ultra-used to it vibrating my ear drums every Friday, it makes hearing it on any other day just seem wrong.
There's my Friday-song story. Also, probably the only time you'll hear me say anything almost positive about my high school. If you want a positive outlook on the school we went to, talk to Rocket. I found the whole thing completely bogus. But! It's Friday, and "Superstition" came on my iPhone's shuffle earlier. Works for me! What's your Friday-song? Other than the disgustingly revolting "Friday" song. Tell me in the comments below, Facebook, Twitter and Google+.
Until next time!

Gluten Free Iced Oatmeal Cookies.

An absolute crowd-pleaser and delightful treat for the chef, these cookies are an ultimate winner with an optional added kick. Go check out the recipe on the "Bones." page.

Traveling Blog.
Greetings. This isn't a traveling blog from a land far, far away, rather it's from one of my favorite coffee shops around the area. Here's Humerus Apollo from inside Homer's Coffeehouse.

Lists.
Greetings. You know what I'm a huge fan of? Making lists. When is the best time to make lists? In advance. Why? To be able to cross things off the list. When? In advance.
I have always found proactive-list-making to be an astoundingly useful skill. Grocery lists, packing lists, to-do lists, class lists, school supply lists, moving lists, dorm lists, and any other kind of lists are wonderful things. You know what's even better than the list itself? Crossing things off the list.
I find if I'm ever in a bind or planning ahead for something, making a list is a very good thing to do. Typically, I'm planning ahead for something. Hypothetically, if I was moving to a new living environment, I would start compiling thoughts and items on a list. Once I got most of the working list together, I could then begin to start completing tasks/acquiring items which were on the list, so I could then begin crossing them off said list.
And to complete my post about crossing things off of my list, I can cross off making a list about a list.
Have questions or tips about lists, making lists or crossing things off lists?
Tweet me about it. @HumerusApollo #BonesList

Tuesday was interesting.
Greetings! There's been a new installment on the 'Bones.' page. An adventure story of sorts, this post involves a journey, a crash and the good side of human nature to save the day. There's a possibility for an Instagram (humerusapollo) update with some photos on this story, as well. Happy reading.
