Well, it's only the morning yet but things are progressing.
I spent a good chunk of time with a friend from church this morning. He's in the hospital, quite sick with cancer, and he won't see another snowfall. We had a good time, and we talked of transitions and preparations. May God watch over him till we meet again.
Now I'm at the office doing some office things that need doing. (I'm typing this while I'm waiting for the printer to print, etc.) Yeah, I know, office on holidays? Somebody needs a piece of information that no one knows were it might be, except for moi.
Hopefully by noon we will be out of here.
Day three, halfway gone.
UPDATE: So, a few of us decided to head down to Lauralea"s mom and dad"s place.
This is where, theoretically, the new Satellite radio changes the road trip from one of boredom to one of amusement and entertainment, causing the hours to float away on the wings of musical blissfulness.
Wrong.She likes the songs of the 50"s and 60"s.
I like the songs of the 70"s and some 80"s.
Therein lay the struggle.
Surprisingly, we found unanimity with the Bluegrass channel.
Yes, yes, I know. I can hear the collective groan out there. But the thing I think I like about it, is the harmonies. It"s music that"s made with beautiful vocal and guitar harmonies.
That"s also one reason why I like so much of the 70"s stuff. The bands back then used their voices to harmonize. Think Boston and “More than a Feeling,”? or mostly anything by ELO, or ABBA.
How many couples can say that they found common ground, in bluegrass?
