I recently purchased an old cd, Natalie Merchant's "Tigerlily." That album was released when I was just starting college. I listened to the whole thing last night. Wow, all I can say is wow! This cd brings back so many memories. My friend Chaz and I used to take road trips all over Wisconsin and Michigan listening to that tape blaring in my Chevy Corsica. If you have never heard the tracks, it is a slow and somewhat sad album. It is true what people say about scent and sound holding the key to your memories.
My favorite tracks on this album are: San Andreas Fault, Beloved Wife, The Letter, and Seven Years. I highly recommend this album for a night of relaxation in front of the fireplace with a glass of wine and a lot of personal reflection.
Wow, I can't believe that it is almost October; this year is flying by! I have been busy this past month. It seems as though my house has been a revolving door for visitors. I was fortunate to have a good friend stay with me for a few days while she was out here for a wedding. My family was here for a week and just flew back home today. So I am planning on having a day of rest tomorrow!
In between visitors, I started playing fantasy football. I know it sounds crazy, but has been fun and quite addicting. I am happy to say that my team is 3-0 (knock on wood). I took my family to see Brett Favre play with the NY Jets against the San Diego Chargers. I got into a heated argument with an ignorant San Diegan while watching the game. Still, it was cool to see Favre play...luv him!
I am still trying to figure out where I am going to live as my extension on my current location is drawing to a close. No matter where I end up, I am sure I will find a new adventure awaits me. I am trying to enjoy life and not be such a workaholic. That has proven to be quite the challenge for me. We'll have to see what the next few months bring my way.
