Fun, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 91 is only tolerable when I use the Fastrack lanes. Better when I can use the carpool lanes as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sweetie is a key player in all seasons thus far. Especially the Pilot and Season 1. He walked in, and my life began again. But he&#8217;s never been &#8220;my world&#8221; the way Kevin was. This is an upgrade, not a replacement, because Darling is here too. Makes it easier to keep my head in the present this year. It&#8217;s also making me feel like I need a change of scenery.  We need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tomorrow&#8217;s Girls is a fun song. I need to find my Kamakiriad CD. It&#8217;s a good concept album. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sigh, the jazz I discovered from 97-00. It&#8217;s like cuddling up on a comfy couch&#8211;never gets old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The hardcore CD I got last weekend is good driving home music. The drive home is to transition from work to home. Music is part of that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My country turns 245 on Sunday. Driving down the main drag of where I live this time of year is the Presidential portraits. They&#8217;re banners now, and the range is much longer than it used to be. I remember when it started up the block from where I am right now, with an unflattering picture of Regan.  I think he&#8217;s the only President in my lifetime to get shot. Right after Lennon too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I should sleep, but I feel like I have less of an excuse not to write if I can post from my phone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>i miss him. And the fun times. But it&#8217;s <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Funny how you like a song for ages but one day you look up the lyrics and you really get why you love it on another level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>i definitely need to dance more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The music I got from Kevin is part of me. Very few painful reminders. Maybe the meds help? I don&#8217;t want to be on them forever. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pat Metheny and Michael Franks are the deities of lazy Sunday mornings of another lifetime. At least they still invoke that feeling in me.  It&#8217;s comforting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh and it took me far too long to know Tal Wilkenfeld was quoting Metheny. She&#8217;s amazingly talented. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pain of losing life as I knew it is still hard. It&#8217;s like a scab that never fully heals. You end up removing the scab randomly and have to let it build up again. Or it&#8217;s like finding a scratch on your hand by using hand sanitizer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m learning to live with the scab and leave it alone most of the time. The emotional pain is not as intense. I can be logical about it a little bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After midnight? I guess I need to shut down my brain. Or at least stop looking at a screen. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Again with the music. Can&#8217;t help it, though The Specials are as comforting as Steely Dan.
