But Then They Began to Sway

Pretty sure my love for Cake started on a road trip.  Not sure if that's relevant.  Also not sure to what I'm hoping it would be relevant. 

But I figured I'd write something to go with the song.  Because you never know.  Something might connect somehow.  Maybe.

Palm of Your Hand is track 10 on Pressure Chief.

New Old Material

Eight and a half hours in the car with my grandfather tomorrow, and I want new stories.

I've heard millions.  Hal and I have been close for longer than I can remember.  But I know there are more.

And, tomorrow, I hope, they're mine.

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.
