Well, what really happened was that I was doing some research and decided that I needed to go to WalMart to find some raw data. Since the one here is open 24/7, I went there at Midnight. The combination of the immediate change of scenery, the fresh air there and back, and the car radio there and back, has recharged my batteries a little.
Amazing what a little spur-of-the-moment indulged self-actualization will do.

PS: One of the songs I heard tonight was the Beastie Boys' "Brass Monkey". We have a story about this song in our family, but I'm sure my brother won't like me telling it.
Anyway, our alma mater high school, good ol' F.W. Springstead, has a habit of doing an annual musical, and one of the years my brother was a student they did The Wiz. Only they didn't stick with the Broadway score.
My brother was one of the Flying Monkey gang and when they did their number, it was to "Brass Monkey". If you can imagine a campy, breakdance fight with dancers in monkey facepaint--well, it's close to what happened. Unfortunately for Bro', the lead dancer wasn't so great about keeping with the choreography. It almost came to real blows. I'm sure Bro' felt real embarrassed by the whole experience.
But just the same, it's also rather bizarre that they could get away with playing a song glorifying booze consumption in a school play.
