Things change
Some songs seem to crystallize a single moment or era, have you noticed? You hear the song, and boom, you're back in a part of your life. "Winter" by Tori Amos is one of the saddest, loveliest songs I've ever heard. The instant I hear the piano hook at the beginning, it's suddenly 1994, I'm twenty-two again, and I'm on the verge of discovering EVERYTHING.
When you gonna make up your mind?
When you gonna love you as much as I do?
When you gonna make up your mind?
Cause things are gonna change so fast...
White out
There is so much wind and so much snow that I absolutely rediscovered tonight what "white out conditions" really mean. I half wondered if I would need to tie a rope from my car to my front door lest I get lost between the two and end up lost on the prairie where I'd freeze to death. Oh wait. I'm getting confused with the Little House books.
