With Your Heart Beating and Your Eyes Shining
Bad news came, and I dealt in my usual manner--red wine and pizza and fudge, and then I heard this song, light and sweet and wistful, and felt a little better.
The sale on my condo fell through, and instead of being free to pursue dreams I will be coughing up $5k I don't have on a new furnace...but still, life goes on, and I was reminded of how happy it made me the first time I heard this song, courtesy of a Canadian radio station as I drove to work in my lime-green Honda Civic. I could fill the tank on that car for less than $10. One day, my boss asked us all what radio stations we listened to. He actually grimaced when I told him mine. Canadian radio? Was I freak? I didn't care what anyone thought of me, then, because my silly music made me happy.
I realize that my taste in music may in fact alienate both readers of this blog...but even my brother who scoffs at my library made me burn him a CD... Fleetwood Mac, not exactly the Pogues...
In any case, I hope every single reader has something silly and minor that cheers them up when they are down...

That is a funny video.
Too bad about the condo. Send us the address of the jokers who backed out and we'll go rough 'em up. Or at least Jed will...I'll rifle through their belongings and keep an eye out for the cops.
I've just been looking for a reason. Any reason at all...
Yeah, I will hold the walker so they can't hit you with it...but thanks, guys, for offering to beat up an elderly couple on my behalf. I truly appreciate the solidarity, even though I'm going to say no thank you...
