Early Onset Dementia

As I chip away at this tagging project, I'm discovering blog posts that I don't remember writing.

Most notably, this one, which is about the airport in Marquette, Michigan, an airport that sells no gum except for sugary chicklets in a coin drop glass bubble.

That post includes both a reference to road trips and soggy lettuce and the Pain song Easy Out.  I made that very same wet lettuce reference less than a week ago in a post about the moment I fell in love with Sublime.  And I posted Easy Out again even more recently in a post about baseball and my sometimes embarrassing fanaticism.

The fact that I'm retelling stories and reintroducing songs is a little bit worrisome, but I do enjoy comparing the writing and thought processes, and I guess it is important to remember that memory imperfection is the biggest reason we write all this stuff down.

Double Knotting My Keds Up

The World Series is making it very difficult for me to concentrate on anything else.  And that makes me consider wanting to be something other than a half-closeted fanatical Philadelphia sports freak.  But then I remember this night, the extra innings, the fist pumps, and the win, and man am I glad that I have hometown teams like these.

This is my favorite baseball song, if you don't count the song that's only a baseball song in my imagination.

Easy Out is track 13 on Wonderful Beef.
