Pandora's box

I experienced a fire drill of sorts at my humble abode today. It was about 8:30 am, when the fire alarm went off. It was a buzzing siren in the hallway with an announcement to leave the building, or if I have a disability to follow the procedure for persons with disabilities. I didn't really pay attention to what the announcement said. Something happened in someone's room on the 7th floor and the sprinklers went off. The fire department needed to go up there and check it then we could go back inside. I looked in the hallway and there was no immanent danger. I did sort of smell smoke, so I thought I should get out. But I took my time putting on my shoes, coat and grabbing my wallet. Then I went down 9 flights of stairs. There was a lady in the stairwell carrying her cup of coffee going slowly down the stairs so she wouldn't spill it. I guess it wasn't that much of an emergency! She finally told me to go ahead of her, so I continued down the steps. I probably ended up holding people up a bit. I am not speedy myself. I ended up sleeping this afternoon. I have been pretty tired today and my legs ache a bit after walking down all those steps. Thank God I didn't have to walk back up 9 flights of stairs!

On a different note. I realize that I have not put many pictures on this blog. The picture above is semi-random. I saved it on my computer from the Faith Community Bible Church website. I think it conveys joy in getting to know God the Father! Also I have been sitting here at The Journey coffee house for the past couple of hours listening to a website called Pandora. It is a music player where I input a favorite song or band and then it generates a radio station that plays similar music. My friend Chris H. suggested it to me. I made a Kenny Wayne Shephard station and listened to really good blues music, including Susan Tedeschi, who is awesome! I also made a Maxwell station which played R&B music that wasn't all that interesting. In terms of R&B music, I really only like Maxwell and maybe one or two other artists. I deleted the Maxwell station. Anyway I am glad Chris H. suggested Pandora!
