Other Notes

Because that last post struck a dark note, and because bicycling through sunlight to work today was a joy, here are some other things in a neutral or even happy tone:

• I have decided that I love the song You Never Even Called Me By My Name, by David Allan Coe. It is one of the songs (the other is, sigh, Freebird), that we hear every time we are at the Scoreboard. This irritated me, until the other night we didn't hear it, and I was sad. Then Lily played it the next night instead of Billy Bragg in attempt (I imagine) to irritate me, and, instead, I was elated.
  

• Speaking of music at the Scoreboard: somehow, playing Bauhaus got us a free pitcher of beer and an invitation home for veggie burgers and other, um, vegetous refreshments.
  

• And finally, I have left the following items in Gabriel's car:

1. My AmeriCorps hoodie;
2. The umbrella his boss gave me;
3. My plastic water bottle, which is now illegal in Canada
4. The Order of Things, by Michel Foucault.
   

• Were he to return them, I would be delighted.

• Special thanks to "Stuff I Left in Gabe's Car" for giving me more points with which to fill this post.
